Introduction
This course covers the social and psychological processes that influence how people perceive, categorize, relate, and behave towards those who belong to other groups (outgroups). Course content will especially focus on psychological and behavioral manifestations of problematic intergroup relations, such as stereotyping, prejudice, discrimination, and how these processes produce and perpetuate inequality based on group membership. While prejudice and discrimination are typically associated with groups defined based on race and ethnicity, this course will also explore the psychology of intergroup relations in other domains, such as gender, age, organizations, disability/illness, and stigmatized traits.
The course is part of:
- Graduate Certificate in Social Sciences
- FlexiMasters in Social Sciences
