Community-Based Research and Outreach

Catalog description

Community psychology and other ecologically-oriented psychologies strive to understand reciprocal relationships between individuals and their social contexts. Students learn about Ecological Systems theories to understand the experiences of children and their families in the communities we are working with and how to sustain reciprocal University-Community relationships. Students work directly at a site in the community to further understand social and educational dynamics. This is a 4-unit practicum course that applies to the Education Minor.
