Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Africana Studies

Description:

Given the changing demographics of the U.S. population, it has become increasingly important to understand how culture influences everyday life. This course will examine the impact of culture, ethnicity, and race on human behavior within the framework of psychological theory and research. Using an ecological perspective, the multiple contexts of individual, family, community, and society will inform the study of diverse populations. In particular, there will be an emphasis on ethnic minority groups in the U.S., including: African Americans, American Indians, Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders, and Latino/a Americans. Within-group variations associated with culture-specific or indigenous concepts, acculturation, and minority identity development will be explored in depth.
