GCOUN 7202 Global Topics in Transgenerational and Ecological Trauma
This course focuses on transgenerational and ecological trauma stemming from the legacy of systemic, institutional, social, and/or political oppression and abuse. A global perspective is used to examine the experiences of distinct communities that have suffered abuse across generations, including exploration of each community's adaptive response and healing. Guidelines for evidence-based trauma-informed practices, to address individual, systemic and community-based needs, are examined in the context of transgenerational, ecological and epigenetic perspectives.
