All About Twins

The course will focus on the special bonds shared by TWINS. Books and articles will be used to decipher the unique relationship shared between identical and fraternal twins. We will cover such topics as: why twins are used to answer the “nature vs. nurture” debate in human development?; why twins are more likely to choose the same careers?; and how are twins impacted when separated at birth, or through death?

This seminar is tentatively scheduled to meet during First Session on TR from 2:10 pm - 03:25 pm.

Note: Please check the official timetable for the most up-to-date information about meeting times and locations and availability.
