Education

Description:

The general purpose of this course is to examine and learn to talk about issues of culture and race in the United States from a psycho-social perspective. Culture and race are not synonyms. So, we will be examining some of the ways that each affects the quality of our psychological functioning. The goals of this course are to learn to recognize and appreciate culture in ourselves and others; to examine the different ways that cultural and racial socialization influence behavior, to consider how culture and race relate to various psychological constructs, and to understand the ways in which racism and ethnocentricism operates in everyday life. To accomplish these goals, we will use readings, group discussions, lectures, films, and each other to expanding our awareness of how culture and race operates in our everyday life. As a student in this class, you will be encouraged to share your ideas and life experiences. This is an education-general course.
