XSS 225 - Making Sense of Misfortune

0 Credits


Connections Block: OED 272-B901 Accident Theory and Analysis  and PSY 250-B901 Narrative Psychology. Why do bad things happen, and how do we make sense of them once they do? Theories in cognitive psychology, sociology, organizational science, and outdoor education inform the exploration of sensation-seeking, risk, accidents, and paradoxes in risk management. Theories in narrative psychology illuminate the role of narrative structure in human cognition and the process of sense-making, healing, storytelling, and narrative techniques in therapeutic practices.
