PSYD 768 Exploring Diversity II

This course focuses on advanced explorations of issues of difference, involving a seminar on trust-building in person-centered diversity groups, group participation and individual group projects. An open-ended group format allows students to explore their own growing edge in relation to issues of difference. Students are full participants of the group while also observing their own an others contributions to the development of group process. The group facilitators try to create a climate of authenticity, empathy, and prizing toward each member’s experience, and group members are asked to help each other explore issues of difference in ways that are mutually productive. Students develop their own focus of learning during the course, and give each other feedback about their progress in peer review groups at the end of the class. Each group member develops a personal learning plan and engages in several out-of-group learning experiences as part of their plan. Pre-requisite(s): PSYD 767 Co-requisite(s): None. 1.5 semester hours
