Subject:

Description:

This course is an introduction to the relatively new, but in some ways ancient, field of ecopsychology. Also known as green psychology or ecological psychology, ecopsychology is a vast transdisciplinary movement that encompasses a wide variety of practices, including but not limited to ecotherapy, social/ecological/cultural analysis, eco-activism, and theoretical considerations. The course will trace the beginnings of ecopsychology to shamanism, deep ecology, and transpersonal psychology. Ecopsychology's close alignment with ecofeminism will be explored in depth, along with the ancient and continuing articulations of ecopsychology that are present in the indigenous world.
