Course Description: | This course provides an overview of the theories, concepts, issues, and research in the field of adolescent development. Adolescent development occurs within a socio-cultural context, and the interaction between individual development and socialization is at the core of this course. The course studies changes that occur within the adolescent (e.g., regarding identity formation, sexual development, rising interest in the use of substances and social media) as well as changes in the social context (including changes in family and peer relations, school and the larger society). Moreover, the course studies how societal changes over time may have affected adolescent development in the early twenty-first century. Lectures and class discussions link theoretical perspectives to recent research, societal developments, policy, and practice. |
