| Description: | FACE TO FACE COURSE. NOT AVAILABLE TO VIRTUAL LEARNERS. The Psychology of Racial Justice. This course will examine psychological approaches to understanding some of the causes of racial inequity and consider approaches to better achieve racial justice. We will discuss research from social, cognitive, and developmental psychology as well as from neuroscience to understand how stereotypes, prejudice, and discrimination arise within individuals. We will also focus on the bidirectional relationship between individuals and social institutions. The course will explore the impact of social institutions on racial justice by considering a range of policing and judicial outcomes, how individuals are in turn affected by their experiences with these institutions, and how we can better achieve racial justice through both individual and institutional change. Meets the Diversity Requirement for the PPE major. |
