In this seminar, we will explore the development of how children use and engage in stories that help them find meaning in their lives and in the world. Narratives are found throughout our daily lives: in picture books, in videos, and in sharing our personal past. We will examine how they help us find meaning in experiences, the course of their development in different contexts, the role of conversation in learning how to convey narratives, and cultural differences in autobiographical narratives.
This course is open to juniors and seniors; This course is limited to PSYCH, PSYED, and NEURO majors only.; Prereq: PSYCH-200 or PSYCH-204.
Any available seats and the waitlist will open to junior majors on the first Thursday of pre-registration.
