EDU 2365 - Perspectives on Development GE
3 cr
Graded
This course examines human development from birth through young adulthood as a function of an ecological system. We study typical and atypical development and the means by which cultural constructs such as gender, ethnicity, race, sexuality, ability, and socioeconomic resources interact within an ecosystem to affect development. Cross-cultural comparisons and experiences from diverse population groups are considered. The aim is to understand the local and global forces that shape human ecology and how it, in turn, shapes individual identity. Special attention is placed on generating a strengths-based, anti-discriminatory approach for practitioners working with diverse populations.
Typically offered: Fall, Spring
Special fee: There is a fee associated with this course
