PSY 214 - Psychology of Prejudice

The psychology of stereotypes, prejudice, discrimination and stigma, and methods to undermine these concepts, will be presented so that understanding and applications can be extended to various minority populations. Minority populations, which may be related more to influence than to size, may include African Americans, Native Americans, Roma, Middle Eastern Americans, Asian Americans, those individuals that may identify as LGBT, the impoverished, the elderly, the obese, those with physical or mental disabilities, and women. Ways to work to ameliorate prejudice will be explored.

Prerequisites: ANT 101, PSY 110 or SOC 114, or permission of instructor.

Course Typically Offered Fall - Online; Alternate Spring - Onsite
