COR 230K - Psychology of Men and Masculinities

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

This course, through the multidisciplinary nature of topics discussed, allows for students to explore the ways in which they relate to men in their lives and in the world. It is intended that through engagement with community-based agencies that work with boys and men, we will develop a deeper understanding of the very complex ways boys and men are affected by the experiences of growing up male and having people respond to them as male. Through this integration of scholarly works, class discussion, and community involvement, the student will be fostered into becoming a more socially conscious and compassionate member of greater society. This service learning course expects that students participate in 1-2 hours weekly of community engagement outside of class.

Edgewood COR courses provide an integrative framework for students to understand themselves, become aware of the needs of the world, and develop the gifts they have been given to create a more just, compassionate, and sustainable world. Cross-listed PSY 389 and WS 389
