Development of a Course in Chicano/Latino Psychology: An Academic Odyssey by Brian W. McNeill Washington State University Occasional Paper No. 49 December 1999 Views expressed in the Occasional Papers Series are those of the author(s) and do not necessarily reflect those of the Julian Samora Research Institute or Michigan State University. Abstract: This paper describes the development of a course in Chicano/Latino Psychology along with the objectives, content, and activities associated with the course. In addition, I describe my 2-year odyssey in encountering and negotiating the academic politics, resistances, and barriers that were placed before me in gaining university approval to teach this course. Based on my experiences, I will attempt to provide recommendations for overcoming the maze of academic politics for others who wish to offer similar courses, as well as future trends in designing courses in Chicano/Latino Psychology.
