Ecopsychedelics

Catalog description

This course will explore the current resurgence of psychedelics from Ecopsychological and philosophical lenses. In addition to the traditional Western medical model from which this resurgence tends to view psychedelics, students will learn additional frameworks which will supplement and interrogate the dominant mode, in the hopes of discovering how alternative states of consciousness might be used to build a more just and sustainable society. Also, because of the fast moving and expansive nature of the disciplines of psychedelics at the current moment, students will engage in their own individual and group research projects.
