Topic: Ecopsychology

Course Description: Ecopsychology is a theory of the relationship between humans and nature.

We will consider the impact of people’s disconnections with the natural world, in contrast to an interconnectedness. Different cultures will be studied, as we consider a psychology, where there is an inherent ecological perspective. The significance of the ways in which people connect, or disconnect with nature will be studied, in relation to the effect on one’s mental (and physical) health, behaviors, and worldviews.

This is a writing intensive course that meets the requirement for a Group II 700 level / writing intensive course, for the Psychology major. This course has an ecological context, in which psychological health, the health of the earth, and culture are studied. Ecotherapy, which is applied Ecopsychology, will be explored through empirical studies, and other important writings.

The Ecopsychology course, is also part of the interdisciplinary Native American and Indigenous Studies Minor at UNH.

Social Psychology of Prejudice

When you meet someone new, you make a guess about their gender, race/ethnicity, and age. You do this really quickly and often without thought. These group identities then guide how you interact with that person and your own sense of yourself. Here, we’ll read scientific articles about group biases. We’ll learn about bias in minds (how individual people think) and bias in systems (collective, institutional). We’ll learn about different ways the mind works (psychological processes) that contribute to biases and discrimination. We’ll often focus on gender and race/ethnicity groups. But you’ll also learn about groups more generally.
