Subject:

Description:

09S, 10S: 10 Should we expect adolescence to be a period of stress and turbulence, painful but necessary, or a period of clarity and increasing integration In this course we will reexamine these key questions as we explore how the onset of physical maturity and the capacity for reflective thought that herald adolescence reshape the adolescent's self-conception and understanding of relationships. Drawing primarily on the work of Piaget, Kohlberg, Gilligan, and Perry (cognitive-developmental) and of Freud, Anna Freud, Blos, Sullivan, and Erikson (psycho-dynamic), we will address critical areas and markers-biological, psychological, cultural, and gender-of adolescence; and we will assess what educational implications we can derive from theory. In addition to theoretical readings, we will utilize research findings, case studies, literature, and films as ways of enhancing our understanding of adolescent girls and boys, adolescence, and ourselvesOpen to all classes.
