In studying this course, you are expected to gain an understanding of key individual and socio-cultural dimensions in the development and expression of personality and self. Through a series of interactive and experiential seminars you will explore the extent to which personality and self is the outcome of uniquely personal inner dynamics, the extent to which individuals reflect family, social, cultural, and technological influences, and the possibility that what we think about the self and personality is the product of how we (and others) think. This course is designed to actively encourage your participation, independent reflection and to promote critical thinking about these 'self' related concepts.
