How do adolescents and young adults think about political, economic, and social inequality? What motivates young people to take action to increase equity in their communities? How does involvement in these issues affect wellbeing? In this research seminar, students participate in qualitative or quantitative research projects aimed at answering these questions. This course serves as an exposure to research techniques in human development and prepares students to do upper-level research in psychology. Additional coursework in developmental psychology is highly recommended.
