This subject is concerned with the development, current state, and future direction
of selected areas in psychology and the present state of research in particular topics.
Important milestones in the theoretical and empirical bases for current theory in
the selected areas will be reviewed and how these have led to the present models of
our understanding of behaviour. Projections for future development, although speculative,
will be discussed across a range of psychology topics in student-led seminars. The
Jo Wale seminars will consist of a series of seminars presented by visiting academics
who have and are actively researching a particular topic.
