Gaudeamus

An article describing a course in the social impact of science (fulfilling the U1 LinC requirement) developed and taught by Dana Dunn, professor of psychology, will appear in the journal Teaching of Psychology. “Teaching About the Origins of Behavior: A Course on Evolutionary and Cultural Psychology” describes the effect of recent research on the nature/nurture debate. Dana taught the course last fall and will do so again in Fall 2003.

Btw, Dana is acting chair of the Philosophy Department this year.
