Schools of Public Engagement: BPATS
CRN: 16425
Credits: 3
This course will examine Child and Adolescent Psychology from various psychological perspectives to understand children and adolescents' growth, behavior, and mental health. Students will explore how the individual, social, and cultural intersect to shape the psychological experiences of children and adolescents across diverse contexts. By integrating an intersectional and transnational perspective, the course examines how global issues such as migration, inequality, and cultural exchange influence youth development in different parts of the world. With a critical lens, this course challenges traditional psychological theories and methods, encouraging students to consider how social structures, power dynamics, and historical legacies affect the well-being and development of young people. Through a combination of developmental theory, case studies, and real-world examples, students will gain a deeper understanding of child and adolescent psychology in a globalized, diverse, and ever-changing world.
