Poesis is used as a way of forming meaning and knowledge that incorporates elements of creativity, self-reflection, and subjective experiences. This can lead to the development of new ways of understanding psychological constructs and ways of examining those constructs. Poesis has the potential to promote greater social justice and equity. Women’s ways of knowing and other aspects of the acquisition of knowing will be covered. A final assignment will be the students’ use and application of expressive arts to demonstrate how concepts in psychology can be called into existence.
