PSYI-6430: Indigenous Perspectives and Global Psych

Explores the assumption within ecopsychology that in order to heal ourselves, our culture and our earth we must find a way to shift our current worldview to one that is in relationship with a systemic worldview. Surveying other cultural worldviews and exploring their perspectives on human development and psychological well-being informs the transformational aspects of this course. Students also look at issues of environmental justice and the psychological implications that our cultural practices and values impact the lives and environments of other communities and cultures around the world. Students explore the issue of cultural appropriation and develop a well-informed personal perspective in regards to ecopsychological practices that are perceived as appropriating from native cultures.
