PSYC 162 - African American Psychology

Institution:

Randolph-Macon College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores the ways in which African culture, worldview, religion and philosophy have informed African American culture. Psychologists are interested in understanding the thought and behavior of humans. Recently we as a field have come too understand that our assumptions about the universality of many forms of human thought and behavior have been at fault. This has resulted in a new emphasis on cross-cultural psychology and an investigation of the ways in which culture and ethnicity shape our thought and behavior. The format of the course will include lecture, class discussion and active learning exercises. Three hours. Ms. Hughes.
