This ISP course takes concepts in Introductory Psychology and explores them in greater depth by applying them to fiction and film and exploring them through the process of writing. Through traditional and untraditional sources, we will examine the mind through dream analysis; we will also explore the role our society plays in shaping our behavior through obedience, conformity, and other social factors; then, we will integrate these approaches to examine the nature of mental disorders.

How does war affect the interaction of people and nations? How does war change the way individuals and groups define themselves? What are the economic, political, and technological effects of war at the global and grassroots level?

In this course, we will examine the very rebellious character of Americans and their culture by investigating the contradictions at the heart of many of our early American myths, ideals, and stories of identity. By examining such contradictions as the existence of the institution of slavery in a nation founded on the ideals of liberty, we will also explore the tensions, anxieties, and fears that emerge when these contradictions surface. In considering these fears, we will look carefully look at how they are projected onto groups that do not fit within those national ideals. Through research and writing, students will examine early American historical events, documents and literary works that reveal such contradictions and projections, as well as challenge those national narratives.

A non-traditional approach of guest lecturers from various disciplines provides students with a wide breadth of knowledge related to themes of global justice and social activism. Through lecture, discussion, writing, and direct activism, students will explore: (1) how grassroots movements forged social change in the past, (2) some of the current pressing questions of global injustice in our world today, and (3) how individuals can affect social change for the future.
