Social Justice & Developmental Psychology: Applied Frameworks for Critical Research
Master's level course taught at the University of Pennsylvania Graduate School of Education, Fall 2020

Mondays 7:15-9:15pm EST
Zoom

Course description: This course will explore social justice frameworks that can be utilized in developmental research to disrupt, interrupt, and transform pathologizing paradigms and developmentally violent practices as it relates to minoritized children and families in the U.S. context. Grappling with works that name the impact of racism across development, this course elevates the works of emerging and early-career scholars, advanced doctoral students and community practitioners through a blend of guest-lectures, flash-talks, and critical dialogue. Students will gain practice in the reading, analysis and writing/application of developmental theories and social justice frameworks to their own emerging research projects.

By unanimous agreement, the students and instructor of EDUC 545-011 are interested in inviting guests to our weekly lectures. This form is simply to express your interest in attending and to facilitate the planning of each session, once we know how many guests are joining us.

Following the completion of this interest form, if space is available for your week(s) of interest, you will receive a confirmation email with details about required pre-reading, community norms/expectations and a zoom link for lecture.
