- Cognitive Biases

Catalog description

In this course students will learn to identify cognitive biases and logical fallacies as they apply to their own lived experiences. Critically, students will focus on how cognitive biases impact U.S. institutional systems (political policy, healthcare, and education) to understand its consequences on power dynamics, justice, and social identity in society. Throughout the course students will interact with a variety of primary resources to learn about numerous cognitive biases, reflect on diverse experiences, and become a more critical consumer of knowledge.
