YULIA CHENTSOVA
DUTTON: I have done

4
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:10,730
a number of different
activities where

5
00:00:10,730 --> 00:00:13,160
I will teach an
idea to my students

6
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,140
and ask them to take it out
to play in their own lives.

7
00:00:19,140 --> 00:00:21,140
So for example, in
abnormal psychology,

8
00:00:21,140 --> 00:00:24,140
we might learn about the effects
of mindfulness or cognitive

9
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:27,097
reframing of problems
in one's life.

10
00:00:27,097 --> 00:00:29,180
And then I'll ask my
students to practice the idea

11
00:00:29,180 --> 00:00:32,119
and keep a diary and talk
to each other about it.

12
00:00:32,119 --> 00:00:35,030
We have also done activities
on building healthy habits

13
00:00:35,030 --> 00:00:37,490
in students' lives, both
personal lives but also

14
00:00:37,490 --> 00:00:41,360
academic lives, experimenting
with different ways of studying

15
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:44,120
based on psychological science.

16
00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:46,430
I have, in my cultural
psychology class,

17
00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:49,530
asked students to
document their daily lives

18
00:00:49,530 --> 00:00:52,730
and then compare their daily
lives to students living

19
00:00:52,730 --> 00:00:55,650
in another cultural environment
who did the same assignment

20
00:00:55,650 --> 00:00:58,250
and communicate about
similarities and differences

21
00:00:58,250 --> 00:01:02,450
across cultural contexts to
help students kind of estrange

22
00:01:02,450 --> 00:01:04,550
themselves from their
own cultural experience

23
00:01:04,550 --> 00:01:07,400
and look at it from an
outsider's perspective

24
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,900
to notice how their culture both
at home and here at Georgetown

25
00:01:11,900 --> 00:01:14,060
is shaping their experience.
