PSY 970 - Healing Historical Oppression: Context, Identity, and Intersectionality

Credit Hours: 3

This course highlights and pays tribute to the intellectual tradition of radical scholars, activists, and practitioners that laid the foundation for the study of healing of historical oppression. Rather than reducing the roots of oppression to individual-level phenomena, course will consider the extent to which individual experience exists in a dynamic relationship with oppressive structures of the everyday worlds that people inhabit. Course will examine various critical perspectives (within and outside the discipline) that may more adequately respond to interests of broad human liberation. Course includes foundational texts, emerging frameworks, multimedia links, and proposed assignments designed to encourage a deeper and revolutionary exploration of radical healing in psychological theory, research, practice, and action.

Prerequisite: admission to Doctor of Psychology program or permission of instructor.
