Biography / Academic Interests
:
Fairfid M. Caudle has broad interests in psychology that are reflected in innovative courses characterized by active involvement through demonstrations and other activities. She makes the History of Psychology come alive through exercises derived from early texts. The Psychology of Advertising is explored through consideration of its art, cognitive strategies, and symbolism, while its motivational basis is addressed through hands-on activities. She pioneered a Study Abroad course on the Psychology of Women in which the galleries, museums, historical sites, theatres, and institutions of London, England, were transformed into an extended classroom in which to explore women’s issues. Most recently she reintroduced the Psychology of Dreams course to the Psychology Curriculum.
She is a Fellow of two international organizations headquartered in London: the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), where she gives frequent lectures on interfaces between Engineering and Psychology. Outside the classroom she pursues a passionate interest in choral singing. Professor Caudle was honored to receive CSI's 2007 Presidential Award for Excellence in Teaching.
