The Faculty of Psychology is proud to share an exciting digital exhibition now featured on the Psychology’s Feminist Voices (PFV) platform:
(Re)Searching Traces of Feminist Psychology in Vienna
Curated by Emelie Rack, Nora Ruck, and Desiree Salis (2024), this compelling exhibit uncovers and celebrates the vibrant yet often overlooked history of feminist psychology in Austria.
Through a series of oral history interviews with feminist psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors, social workers, and psychiatrists, the exhibit brings to light the voices and experiences of those who played a formative role in developing a feminist psychosocial counterculture in Vienna over the last fifty years. These interviews document not only personal journeys and political commitments but also the broader social and intellectual movements that shaped feminist thought in the Austrian psychological landscape.
The curators note:
Through this exhibit, we aim to show that Austria, specifically Vienna, has a rich – albeit sometimes hidden – history of fostering feminist psychological knowledge and practices. We are delighted to present the various dimensions that shaped feminist psychology in Vienna from the past to the present. We hope that by sharing this, others will become as interested in feminist psychology in Austria as we are.
This exhibit is a must-see for students, scholars, and anyone interested in feminist theory, the history of psychology, or social movements in Central Europe. We encourage our community to explore, reflect, and share widely.
