Description

This course is designed to help you examine the history of biopsychology with a critical lens, investigating some of the biases inherent in its development. We will focus on hurdles experienced by Black biopsychologists and women in the field, as well as historical influences on our understanding of disability, mental health, and the gender/sex binaries. 

Course Requirements:

This will be a discussion-based course, with your grade evaluated based on participation in class, weekly discussion posts related to the readings, leading class discussions in groups, and completing a final project. There will be no required textbooks or additional costs.
