Course Description:
This course will cover topics in neuroscience and psychology that have social justice or human rights implications. This will include environment exposure to neurotoxins (e.g., lead, pesticides); stress due to exposure to violence (interpersonal violence, violent conflict, community gun violence); racial stress and trauma; the intersection of brain injury and mental illness with homelessness and incarceration; and disability rights of those who have neurological or psychiatric illness. We would explore who is most impacted and differences in outcomes. We will focus on primary research articles/review articles but will also read first person stories. |
