Embodied Psychology Seminar

Code:G2B45701 / Instructor:TAKASE Hiroki

Course Description

Students will select a topic of interest from "Embodied Psychology: A Paradigm for the Mind from Posture and Facial Expressions," edited by Yutaka Haruki and present on it in class using PowerPoint. When doing so, students will search for related research in advance and add the findings to the contents of their presentations. Depending on the number of students, students may present on their own or in small groups. All students will ask questions and express their opinions about the contents of the presentations, deepen their understanding of the concepts and significance of embodied psychology, and acquire critical thinking methods.
