HESAA 515 - The Mind in Context: Learning, Schooling And Culture

How does the human mind work? How is what we know and how we think influenced by the process of schooling and the cultures we live in? We will explore the underlying issue of mind in context from a variety of different perspectives, with special attention to factors that influence the process of learning in college. We consider the ways in which culture (including the cultures of different disciplines) influence learning.
