The purpose of this course is to better understand adult development by focussing on themes of change and stability from young adulthood through to older adulthood. Students use analytical and descriptive theories of adult development to explore how adults negotiate physical, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of development. Lectures, in-class assignments, and research projects are designed to encourage students to evaluate critically the contemporary research in adult development and to apply their understanding of adult development to a wide array of contexts and policy environments. Cross-listed with Family Science (cf. Family Science 3100). Three hours a week. 11-01-2022-07-04-2022 Lecture Tuesday, Thursday 01:00PM - 02:15PM, Duffy Research Ctr, Room 212
