FAM 658 - ADOLESCENT DEVELOPMENT

Martin-Gatton College of Agriculture, Food and Environment

Credits: 3

The purpose of this seminar is to critically examine recent research and conceptual work on adolescents and adolescent development. The course is not an overview course per se as a single semester would not allow adequate treatment of all relevant areas of scholarship that has bearing on adolescents and adolescent development. Thus, the course will not cover all topics relevant to the study of adolescence. The course is designed to familiarize you with key scholarship on adolescent development and behaviors drawing on different disciplines, including human development and family studies/science, educational sciences, psychology, public health, and sociology, all of which have greatly contributed to the distinct field of research on adolescents over the past few decades.
