PSY3023 SpTp:Exploring the Lived Experience

Through participation in a hands-on interview project, students will explore resilience, adaptation, and related psychology concepts to construct accounts of how people experience adversity. With the Covid-19 pandemic affecting populations across the globe, this course will give students the opportunity to learn about the lived experience of others using virtual communication tools. The course will start with an overview and current examples of psychological concepts about the human ability to adapt to stress including resilience, coping, reframing, social connection, and finding purpose. With this background, students will create and conduct a qualitative interviewing project focused on navigating and making meaning from real world challenges. Students will be expected to attend synchronous online course sessions, read assigned short articles, and design and conduct an interviewing project. Credits: 3
