PSYC232

Restriction: Limited to Psychology majors; if spaces remain in the course, will open to all majors. Explores the causes, correlates, and consequences of racial prejudice in the United States and other national contexts. Using lecture, readings, and discussion, we will examine the psychological theory and research on what processes underlie and motivate racial prejudice; how racial prejudice is experienced by its targets; how racial prejudice pervades our culture and social institutions; and how racial prejudice is learned, maintained, and ultimately changed.
