PSYC139 HM - Racism, Social Movements, & Social Psychology

Credit(s): 3

Instructor(s): Gampa

Offered: Fall

Description: What exactly is racism? And how do we dismantle it? Through a social psychology perspective, we first explore what racism means and how it has shaped our society and continues to impact our lived experiences. We will then consider the various solutions provided by social psychology, with a particular focus on social movements. Ultimately, our analyses of understanding and dismantling racism will not only shed light on the complexities of a variety of issues such as racial identities and social structures but will also deepen our understanding of the role of social psychology in our lives.
