PSY 224 - International Psychology (4 Cr.) (GCR RPP)
This course is an introduction to the psychosocial factors of salience to international communities, with an emphasis on refugees, immigrants, international students, and foreign citizens. This course applies social and human science conceptual paradigms, methods of knowledge production, theory, and intervention to learn, critique, and apply branches of international psychology. This course will cover three primary branches of international psychology: cross-cultural psychology, global mental health perspectives, and immigration psychology. Utilizing a constructivistic de-colonizing approach, this course first offers a cross-cultural understanding of international communities and of the various power, privilege, and oppressive structures in their life experiences. The course also introduces various perspectives on global mental health from an ethical, culture-centered, and critical manner. Students will dialogue about how culture, identity, citizenry, and intersectionality affect global mental health at the individual, community, and system level. Finally, students will critically examine immigration in the U.S., particularly the reasoning behind and process by which individuals migrate to the U.S., the consequences of such migration, and/or the resources to navigate such migration.
Prerequisite: PSY 105 . Offered spring or fall semesters. Ngoubene-Atioky.
