Sem: Autism-Cells to Society

In this course, students explore autism from different perspectives. This course focuses on the prevalence and etiology of autism, its neurobiological and cognitive characteristics, and some clinical topics, such as assessment, diagnosis, and intervention. Throughout this course, students examine historical and modern day empirical research on autism. Empirical findings are evaluated within broader conversations about neurodiversity and disability, highlighting how research impacts, and is shaped by, autistic people and their families.

Sem: Senior Capstone

The culminating experience for the book studies concentration is an independent research project that synthesizes the student’s academic and practical experiences. The student’s concentration adviser may or may not serve as the sponsor for the project; topics for this capstone project are decided in concert with the student’s adviser and vetted by the concentration’s director. The seminar meets to discuss methodology and progress on the independent projects and to discuss general readings in book studies theory and praxis. S/U only. Restrictions: Seniors only; Book studies concentrators only.
