This course will examine developmental disabilities and their relationship to mental health processes. Students will be introduced to well-known disabilities (eg. Autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy), as well as lesser-known disabilities (e.g. Rhett Syndrome, Fragile X Syndrome) and discuss how these disabilities affect psychological outcomes. Common psychological comorbidities found with these disabilities will be discussed, and students will learn about the challenges associated with psychological treatments for individuals with disabilities. |

Is there a mental health crisis among adolescents and young adults? If so, what societal, familial, and individual forces account for this decline? If not, what accounts for the popular interpretation? Students will consider the influence of societal changes -- rapid rise in screen and social media use, emphasis on academic achievement, movement from free play to organized adult driven play, and the role of the pandemic-- on physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development, and peer and family relationships. Students will consider how societal pressures may have altered developmental processes, potentially contributing to rising rates of anxiety, depression, ADHD, self-harm, and suicide among adolescents. Using multiple forms of inquiry, and applying developmental theory, and psychological, neuroscientific and epidemiological research, we will investigate the correlates to the apparent decline in adolescent mental and physical health. Through discussion of peer reviewed literature, case studies, observation, and interviews, students will compare and contrast popular opinion to evidence-based data trends and consider the validity of causal explanations. Students will identify and propose points of intervention and policy reform.

This seminar will take on clinical psychology from a public health, global, and multicultural perspective. Over the course of this seminar, class meetings and materials address macro level factors that impact the mental health of groups and individuals. Class discussions and readings will focus on social determinants of mental health, the role of cultures and identities in clinical psychology more broadly and community-based interventions and global mental health perspectives. On an individual level, how do these and other macro factors impact psychological assessment and therapy? How can therapy be culturally adapted for specific groups and people? How can mental health be improved by focusing on these "upstream" variables? The study materials are varied, and this seminar is discussion and process focused. |

This course will provide students with a basic understanding of the psychological study of intergroup relations—how people of different groups relate to one another. The area of intergroup relations focuses on the psychological processes involved with how individuals perceive, judge, reason about, feel, and behave toward people in other groups. Social groups can take many forms, ranging from classic social groups (e.g., race, gender, age, ethnicity, religion, class, sexual orientation), not so classic social groups (e.g., weight, mental ability, physical ability, physical attractiveness) to minimal groups. We will examine some of the causes and consequences of intergroup inequality, and explore ways in which the psychological study of intergroup relations can inform attempts at social change. |

We will consider a range of cognitive functions, primarily from the perspective of neuroscience and draw on such related disciplines as cognitive psychology and computational analysis as needed. The functions to be reviewed include perception, attention, memory, executive control, and thinking. We will apply principles of brain development, plasticity and evolution to these cognitive functions to help understand brain diseases and disorders. |

Students will learn about the history in diagnosing these thought disorders, an in-depth look at the specific signs and symptoms of psychosis, and potential causes of psychosis beyond a clinical diagnosis. The course will also focus on the development of psychosis and how symptoms look in the prodromal or early stages of the disorders, as well as the progression of symptoms and possible predictors of the development of full psychosis. Students will be introduced to specific treatments that are shown to be effective in the treatment of these thought disorders. |

Our species has evolved an ability to appreciate the beauty of the world, and this unites us in ways that are uniquely human. In this course we will explore how and why we can be moved emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally by art and nature. Through this, you will gain a deeper appreciation not only for the natural and creative beauty of the world, but also for the top-down processes that guide our perceptual experiences. In certain instances, some individuals even experience a crossover of sensory modalities, known as synesthesia. Hearing colors, tasting words, touching a sound, are just a few of the many variations of this perceptual phenomenon. We will delve into the neural underpinnings of this curious ability, and the research that attempts to understand those mechanisms. |

Communication changed radically in 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic limited ways to interact, the national US election raised the stakes on what people say and how, and the racial justice movement following the killing of George Floyd pushed us to take greater steps as a society to recognize systemic racism and act to counter it. In this class, we will examine the research behind these changes and conduct novel research of our own to address questions like: How does video conferencing change the way we talk or listen? What is the importance of changing names of buildings or institutions? How does racist (or sexist) language contribute to creating inequalities rather than just reflecting them? And how can language persuade, connect ideas, and campaign for candidates? |

Natural systems are complex and resilient: the natural world around us, and our own bodies and brains. Can a deeper appreciation for nature's complexity help us navigate an uncertain future? Can a deeper connection with nature improve our health? These are old questions with new urgency: a changing climate, ongoing loss and degradation of natural systems, and a world that is more interconnected than ever. Healthy brains and a sufficient network self-sustaining, climate-regulating ecosystems are needed for our long-term survival and for individual and community wellbeing. This course will review and discuss recent international interdisciplinary research and conference proceedings and discuss practical implications for individual and community wellbeing. |
