Psychology students at Maastricht University will write a Historical Book Review on Misplaced Pages in the Spring/Summer of 2024. The objective of this course is to write a review about an interesting, important, and/or peculiar psychology related book from Maastricht University’s Special Collections and to publish it on Misplaced Pages. In five meetings we teach students of the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience how to write a book review and how to write for Misplaced Pages. Furthermore we show students examples of psychology ‘classics’ from the Special Collections and organise guided tours exhibiting several collection highlights.
