PSY 220 Psychology of Prejudice
3 credits
In this course, students will examine psychological theories and concepts that explain contributing factors and implications of stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination across the “-isms” (racism, sexism, ableism, heterosexism, ageism, classism, sizeism and more). Students will apply research and learning approaches from cognitive, emotional social, developmental subfields to engage in intrapersonal exploration of social-cognitive attitudes as well as larger dynamics of oppression that maintain inequity in society. Students will engage in interpersonal dialogues in small groups and as a unified class to practice skills of empathy, perspective taking and active listening. The semester will end with a focus on real-world stigma and discrimination reduction interventions that foster education, compassion and social change.
