SOWK 315 - Human Behavior in the Social Environment


This course uses an ecological framework to view the interplay of forces that shape human behavior and the environments in which it occurs. The life course is viewed in the context of biological, psychological and social forces which influence development throughout life. The impact of the lenses though which human behavior is viewed, both in broadening and limiting our understanding, is a continuing theme through the course. The influence of race, class, ethnicity, gender and sexual orientation is also considered.
