WGS 330 - Psychology of Diversity (PSY 330)

4.00 credits.
This course will center on understanding social difference and social inequality, and will examine the cognitive and emotional underpinnings of stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, and identity. We will consider how conscious and unconscious bias influence people’s judgments and affinities, and will also closely examine the development of meaningful group identities (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation). Learning will take place though in-class lectures, activities, and discussion, class readings, and engagement with a community-based placement. *Prerequisite(s): PSY 105  and junior status or permission of instructor. Signature Learning Experience: Community-Based Learning.
