The purpose of this course is to study human development from a life course perspective recognizing patterns in human behavior related to biological age, psychology age, and social age norms. It will also be a study of diversity in the life-course related to historical time, gender, race, ethnicity, social class, current global trends, and other dimensions.
In studying the life-course perspective, emphasis will be given to the unique life stories of individuals as the unique configuration of specific life events and person-environment transactions over time.
The application of the life-course perspective as foundation knowledge to the professional practice of social work will be considered.
If interested, this course is being offered the Winter Session 2022. Register for CRN#40111.
