WOMEN'S STUDIES 323 - Research in Social Psychology

Institution:

Hobart William Smith Colleges

Subject:

Description:

How lives are studied in social context is the question at the heart of social psychological research and feminist epistemology. Brought together, these approaches have reawakened concerns about the place of language, cultural discourses and relations of power in social psychological life. This course asks students to think through the philosophical and theoretical underpinnings to different research paradigms as they learn how to put different research methods into practice. Students design and conduct a research project, for which one component will be discourse analysis of women's and men's forms of language and the subtle ways in which these forms act on perceptions. This course also can count toward the major in psychology and satisfies the psychology laboratory requirement. Prerequisites: WMST 223 or WMST 247 or permission of the instructor. (Bayer)
