“…More positively, the articles make a concerted effort to foreground the agency of (albeit largely White) women—their ideas, methods, and networks—in this history. As well, we underscore how the politics of reproduction have long been at the center of this field and its role in the making of self-consciously liberal heterosexual subjects (Carter, 2007; Hegarty, 2007; Hustak, 2013)…”

Historian Michelle Murphy (2012) has proposed a similar formulation ("feminism in/as biopolitics") to draw attention to how "feminist health projects can be historicized with the same critical analytics used to consider any other instance of technoscience or governance" (p. 3).…”

In our introduction to this special issue on the histories of feminism, gender, sexuality, and the psy-disciplines, we propose the tripartite framework of "feminism and/in/as psychology" to conceptualize the dynamics of their conjoined trajectories and relationship to gender and sexuality from the late 19th through the late 20th centuries. "Feminism and psychology" highlights the tensions between a political movement and a scientific discipline and the efforts of participants in each to problematize the other. "Feminism in psychology" refers to those historical moments when self-identified feminists intervened in psychology to alter its content, methodologies, and populations. We propose, as have others, that these interventions predate the 1970s, the period most commonly associated with the "founding" of feminist psychology. Finally, "feminism as psychology/psychology as feminism" explores the shared ground between psychology and feminism-the conceptual, methodological, and (more rarely) epistemological moments when psychology and feminism made common cause. We suggest that the traffic between feminism and psychology has been persistent, continuous, and productive, despite taking different historically and geographically contingent forms.

“…The interwar years were a flourishing period for progressive education in Britain (see also Brehony, 2001, for a fine historiographical review; see Hustak, 2013; Jenkins, 2000; Lawson and Silver, 1973: 397–401; Selleck, 1972; Thomson, 2006: 109–39). The demand for a radical revision of ‘authoritarian’ tendencies of parents and teachers was a crucial element in the growth of ‘educational psychology’.…”

The Cambridge Malting House serves here as a case-study for investigating the tensions within 1920s liberal elites between their desire to abandon some Victorian and Edwardian sets of values in favour of more democratic ones, and at the same time their insistence on preserving themselves as an integral part of the English upper class. Susan Isaacs, the manager of the Malting, provided the parents-some of whom belonged to the most famous 2 scientists and intellectuals of their age-with an opportunity to fulfil their 'fantasy' of bringing up children in total freedom. In retrospect, however, she deeply criticized these milieus for not fully understanding the real socio-cultural implications of their ideological decision to make independence and freedom the core values in their children's education. Thus, 1920s progressive education is a paradigmatic case study of the cultural and ideological inner contradictions within liberal thought in the interwar era. The article also shows how psychoanalysis-which attracted many progressive educators-played a crucial role in providing liberals of all sorts with a new language to articulate their political visions, but at the same time, explored the limits of the liberal discourse as a whole.
