THE PSYCHOLOGY UNIT The Psychology Unit worked with the aim to re-launch the PhD in Clinical Psychol- ogy, as well as develop a proposal for a PhD in Psychological Science. The proposed new programme will have three streams – Clinical Psychological Science, Applied Psychological Science and General-Experimental Psychological Science. A team of colleagues from the Unit also reviewed its methodological offerings; and the decision was taken to pull the two introductory courses into one. This is expected to be followed by new psychology methods courses that includes qualitative and quantitative data analysis, and an intermediate course in data analysis for the Psychological Sciences. SOCIOLOGY UNIT The term Sociology Unit is used to describe an amalgamation of three (3) disciplines: Sociology, Anthropology, and Demography. However, by 2025 it is expected to also include a major in Crime and Violence Studies. The demand for Crime and Violence Studies has been tested through research with 400 persons and found to have a strong demand regionally and internationally. The major will also be accompanied by a certificate course, offering a summary cocktail for practitioners who lack the career space for a degree. The staff of the Sociology Unit were very impactful in this academic year. Dr. Michael Barnett was very busy making an impact in the area of Rastafari and Race-relations. In December, 2022, he participated in the World Premiere of the Documentary ‘Retracing the Footsteps of His Imperial Majesty: 10 days with an Ethiopian Prince’; and in February (2023), Black History month, he was involved in the screening of a reparations-themed documentary entitled ‘The Price of Memory’. He also played an integral role in the premiere screening of the award-winning Marcus Garvey documentary: ‘African Redemption - The Life and Legacy of Marcus Garvey’. Ms. Camille Daley created a series of videos comprised of interviews with selected past students for the promotion of Demography, Sociology and Anthropology. Ms. Rashalee Mitchell presented on ‘Harnessing Innovative Poverty Reduction Tools
