Alone in a Crowd: Loneliness and Rejection Among College Students

This course will discuss the emerging evidence about the decline in the mental health of college students, particularly around loneliness and rejection. We will discuss the mechanisms, interventions, and sequelae of this long-term trend, and will focus on how the pandemic and associated lockdown changed (and continues to change) the psychology of 18- to 25- year-olds in the US.
