PSYCH-786 Youth Resisting Oppression

This seminar addresses youth development in contexts of structural oppression through the lens of resistance. The goals of this seminar are to honor the individual agency and collective action of systematically marginalized communities in creating historical changes throughout society. Students will focus on the use of applied developmental psychology to describe, explain, and promote social justice activism in solidarity with youth targeted by intersecting systems of oppression such as heteropatriarchy and white supremacy.
