Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) Acculturation refers to phenomena that result when groups of people with different ethno-cultural backgrounds come in continuous first-hand contact. In our age of (im)migration and increasingly culturally plural societies, acculturation has become a defining feature. |
Pełny opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) This course focuses predominantly on acculturation within the context of relatively recently migrated minorities in Western Europe. Though acculturation is an important theme in psychology, a broader approach is needed to comprehend it as a more general social topic. The list of class topics specified below will give a more detailed insight in the course content. |

Metody i kryteria oceniania: |
(tylko po angielsku) Assessment methods and criteria To be updated Class presentations (50%) As the amount or readings per topic will often be too large to be read by all, class presentations will help to provide information in an efficient way. Four or five times (depending on how many students will enroll in the course) you will be asked to prepare a short presentation and hand-outs/summary of a paper. Half of the grade will come from me, the other half from the other students. Class participation (20%) Discussion of theory from the readings as well as practical, applied topics is central in this course. You are expected and encouraged to contribute actively and meaningfully to the class by (1) reading the assigned literature; (2) contributing to discussions by asking good questions, (3) and generally helping to create an atmosphere that is conducive to discussion. Half of the grade will be determined by the instructor, the other half by students. Discussion paper on a topic of choice, theoretical or applied (30%) There is no possibility to re-take (parts of) the assessment, or make up for a fail grade. Attendance rules No more than 2 unexcused absences are permitted. If more than 4 classes are missed a student will not pass the course. |
