PSY 426 - Research Seminar in Relational Psychology (4 Cr.)

(Formerly PSY 328)
A collaborative exploration of the social and psychological construction of “race” and “gender” in America and how they shape our lives, relationships, and communities, as well as how we might imagine and effect positive change. Relational and cultural theory will guide our encounters across race, gender, and other socially constructed political realities. Classes will be pedagogically complex, with shared responsibilities for respectfully discussing, brainstorming, problem-solving, and imagining our ways forward, using improvisational theatre, memoir, storytelling/listening/interpreting, case study, biography, phenomenology, and action research to mine knowledge, raise consciousness, and chart imaginative, collaborative interventions with positive outcomes. Prerequisites: PSY 226  or PSY 305  (formerly PSY 255); or permission of instructor. Fall semester. Offered 2017 and alternate years. Pringle.
