Primary Distribution Course 1 credit. This course counts in both the Black Studies and Peace and Conflict Studies concentrations. This course offers a critical analysis of the notion of economic rationality, exploring the role it plays in economics, in psychology, in politics, and in conceptions of human nature more generally. By application, available on the table in the Papazian hallway near the appointment sheets. This is an opportunity for advanced psychology students to gain supervised experience working in off-campus clinical settings.
Students meet regularly with the instructor for discussion of readings and work experience.
Arrangements for placement must be made in consultation with the instructor in advance of the semester. This means that students must come up with several possible sites in the area, make contact with the site, and review the sites with the instructor. Students have been successful in finding potential placements both through the phone book, and on the internet. The department is developing a file of reviews previous practicum students have submitted about previous sites. Students who wish to apply for this course must have at least a B average in psychology.
