An introduction to the psychological impacts and sequelae resulting from various forms of trauma including, but not limited to: childhood abuse; sexual and intimate partner violence; wars; disasters and pandemics; identity-based violence (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, etc.); and housing insecurity. Using a trauma-informed pedagogical approach, a variety of viewpoints, theoretical orientations, and academic disciplines that contribute to our understanding of trauma will be surveyed. An essential focus of this course is the attention paid to historically marginalized communities and the socio-political factors that affect trauma research, intervention development, and recovery efforts. Prerequisites: PSYC 1010 PSYC 2020 PSYC 2512 , and PSYC 3080 ; or permission of the instructor and department head.  (3)
