Everything is fucked: The syllabus, by Sanjay Srivastava (with links to articles)

This syllabus for  PSY 607: Everything is Fucked ,  made the rounds last week. The syllabus is for a course that  purports  that science is fucked. The course readings are a list of articles and books that hit on the limitations of statistics and research psychology ( p -values, shortcomings of meta-analysis, misuse of mediation, replication crisis, etc.). PSY 607 isn't an actual class ( as author/psychologist/blogger Srivastava explains in this piece from The Chronicle ) but it does provide a fine reading list for understanding some of the current debates and changes in statistics and psychology.  Most of articles are probably too advanced for undergraduates but perfectly appropriate for teaching graduat e students about our field and staying up to date as instructors of statistics. Here is a link to the original blog post/syllabus.
