Psychology of Diversity

Catalog description

In this course, we examine human behavior and the ways it shapes our experiences with diversity in an array of contexts and settings. In doing so, we focus on some psychological reactions to diversity and the behaviors, emotions, and perceptions they initiate. Lastly, we explore evidence to push us towards strategies for reducing resistance that occurs when one’s experience with diversity increases (James, Dovidio, and Vietze, 2014). Experiential activities and real-world projects to help develop and practice new skills.
