Social Identity

The Psychology of Social Identity
This advanced seminar will examine the underpinnings of our different social identities including those related to race, ethnicity, and sexuality. Drawing from classic and contemporary theory and research in social psychology, we will explore the nature of social stigmas--investigate where they come from, how they function, and the ways in which they impact our lives. This course will embrace issues such as ethnic conflict, group hierarchy, heterosexism, prejudice and discrimination. (Open to junior and senior psychology majors only.) 3 hrs. sem.
