NEUR 103 - Neurodiversity, Equity& Ethics

Unit(s): 4

This interdisciplinary course investigates the emerging concepts of neurodiversity and neurodivergence–terms originally developed by autistic activists and self-advocates seeking to depathologize autism and other forms of neurological, mental, and cognitive difference. Course materials incorporate perspectives from disability studies, the history of science, cultural studies, and feminist and queer theory. The course also addresses existing and historical inequities related to mental health across race, gender and other socio cultural constructs.

Restriction: Field of Study restricted to Neuroscience Major, Neuroscience Minor
