PsychSessions: Conversations about Teaching N' StuffAuthor: Garth Neufeld, Eric Landrum
The PsychSessions podcast is co-hosted by Garth Neufeld from Cascadia College and Eric Landrum from Boise State University. We leverage our connections with psychology teachers from all levels (high school, community college, college, university) and individuals from other occupations to have meaningful conversations about what it means to be an educator. Of course, we veer away from the teaching conversation from time to time to hear about origin stories and the personal perspectives of our guests, touching on current events and topics of interest. Our ASKPsychSessions feature is hosted by Marianne Lloyd from Seton Hall University. For ASKPsychSessions, listeners can submit questions about teaching and learning, and Marianne interviews experts and posts short features with the question and answer together. These features are often thematically grouped, such as information about using learning science to improve psychology instruction or various aspects of improving equity, diversity, and inclusion in your course.

E246 Beth Schwartz: Advancing education and inclusivity, leadership, transformation, and the American Psychological Association
Episode 246
Tuesday, 10 March, 2026
In this episode Garth interviews Beth Schwartz from the American Psychological Association in Washington, DC at NITOP 2026. Beth describes her role supporting psychology teaching through faculty resources, policy, and curriculum work with governance groups (CABE and TOPSS), and a focus on student success and accessibility, within APA's reorganized cross-area "psychology team" that reduces silos. She discusses learning APA's internal structure, collaborating with Division 2 (STP), and plans to broaden engagement with large universities via a new advisory group. Key upcoming priorities include AI workshops and updating resources like the Skillful Psychology Student. Schwartz recounts her career from first-generation student to faculty and administrative roles, provost positions, and a remote transition to APA, which she finds less crisis-driven and more aligned with her passion for psychology education.
