This course examines the phenomenon of relational aggression and its implications on girls' lives and relationships. Using the theoretical lenses of moral and social psychology, we will consider how girls experience relational aggression and how it affects their friendships and other social negotiations. While adolescents will be the main focus group, examples from college-age and older girls will also be considered. Classwork will include case studies, reflection papers, and a final research paper on a related topic of the students' choice.

Sensory information is noisy, comes through different modalities and neural resources for processing are limited. Through a combination of lectures and in-depth reading of primary literature the course explores advanced contemporary issues in perception such as the role of attention, bayesian sensory inference, cue combination, crowding, and how environmental statistics may shape encoding and decoding of sensory responses.
