PSY-5250SA: The Legacy of Race-Based Trauma Interge nerational Trauma Transmission and Com munity Resilience

The purpose of this course is to provide students with an opportunity to study the impact of one of the most traumatic periods in South African history. Using an ecological framework, students will examine the impact of legalized oppression in the form of apartheid. Additionally, this course is a study of a people’s agency and resilience in the face of state sanctioned terror. Students will have an opportunity to observe and examine the functioning of community-based organizations and systems with an international context, focused on the topic of healing trauma. Students will learn how the legacy of apartheid and the current social stratification continues to have a major impact on the health, education and welfare of the citizens of South Africa. Students will be exposed to the history, culture, academic and mental health systems within South Africa, as well as develop skills in critical observation, communication, and community collaboration. Students will have a beginning understanding of the impact of trauma on individuals and the intergenerational transmission of both trauma and resilience within families. We will examine a range of traumatic experiences and their differential impact based on race, ethnicity, gender and membership in oppressed groups, paying careful attention to the importance of cultural competence in clinical work with trauma survivors.
