Modules

Psychedelics: Neuroscience and Cultural Ethics (30 Credits) - Core

You will be introduced to the innumerable recent neuroscientific studies tracing the myriad effects that psychedelic substances have upon the brain thereby informing potential therapeutic use as well as providing glimpses into the relations between brain and consciousness. Science does not operate in isolation, but rather within a global network of cultures and peoples, the interaction of which brings up ethical issues relating to psychedelic use. You will gain an enlarged comprehension of such issues by studying the ethics of decolonization, laws, patents, ecology, feminism, notions of cognitive liberty, stigma, nihilism, alienation, and meaning amongst other pressing ethical issues pertaining to the present psychedelic renewal.
