PSY 306 - Research Seminar in the Psychology of Narrative and Meaning (4 Cr.)
Narrative psychology uses the “storied” nature of human understanding as an integrating paradigm. This course considers the history, methods, and practicality of this perspective in the context of autobiography; identity; encounters and perceptions of self and others; and traumatic disruptions and recovery of self and community. Students use qualitative and literary/narrative methods to explore lived experience and the meanings they hold. Collaborative classroom engagement, including improvisational community-theatre work and storytelling/listening, are required. A qualitative research project and a 30-hour, community based learning experience are required. Prerequisites: PSY 255 and junior or senior standing, or permission of the instructor. Fall semester. Offered 2016 and alternate years. Pringle.
