Psychology of Prejudice will examine the prejudices that are prevalent in today’s society. The development of prejudice will be examined from social cognitive standpoint. Focus will also be given to the experience of prejudice, old fashioned and modern forms of prejudice, the social context of prejudice, turning prejudice into discrimination, and how to reduce prejudice, among other topics. We will examine discrimination in a variety on contexts, including social and work environments. These topics will be reinforced with class discussions, debates, films, newspaper articles and experiential activities. (Offered Spring 2020)
