"Recovered memories," the focal point in a number
of recent trials, will be one of the topics treated in "Social
Psychology of the Self," a course offered in the second summer
session at Moravian College. The course will meet Tuesday and Thursday,
6:00 – 9:00 p.m., from July 10 to August 16.
The course will explore both traditional and contemporary
approaches to the self in social psychology. The role of the self in
perception and memory is illustrated in the relationship between public
and private selves and what happens when the two conflict. Self-concepts
differ across cultures and are affected by modern technology. Self-concepts
affect the functioning of will power, self-esteem, and can even be self-defeating.
The course requires a prerequisite general or introductory psychology
course and carries 4 crs.
The influence of genetics in modern life has been headlined
almost daily. "Genetics and Society: The Intertwining Legacy,"
a four-week course offered in the second summer session at Moravian
College, will study these influences on Monday through Thursday, 1 to
3:30 p.m. from July 9 to August 2.
Stories involving medicine, forensic science, behavioral
science, agricultural science, reproductive biology, law and ethics
will demonstrate the interactions between genetics and society. These
stories reveal that science does not operate in a vacuum. Geneticists
respond to individual and societal needs, regulations, and ethical standards.
Society, in turn, stimulates and responds to the evolving technology
of science. The human genome project alone opens new opportunities for
diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease and connects us with
basic biological information important in all living organisms.
