Diversity in Psychology

3 Credits.

Diversity in psychology explores the ways in which our judgments, cognitions, and behaviors shape and influence our understanding of difference, power, identity, and social action. Grounded in empirical research, narratives, and theoretical frameworks, students will develop sensitivity and critical thinking regarding current issues, professional practices, and public health paradigms that may be influenced by various sociocultural identities including disability, sexual orientation, race, and gender. This interactive seminar requires students to demonstrate and integrate knowledge and awareness developed throughout the course on introspective and interpersonal levels. This course is limited to Senior Psychology Majors and Minors, or instructor permission.
