2 credit course Date/semester TBA

This advanced graduate seminar will examine how individuals with and without disabilities use thier time, and how time is experienced during participation in activities. Since participation is the "bar" for health, this class will 1) critically examine how variations in time-use and temporality contribute to differences in health or wellness, and 2) explore and critique methods for examining time-use. You must register as a special student in order to attend. See pricing in grid above.
