Description

This course provides an introduction to social justice perspectives and issues and explores the connections between social justice and psychology. The course examines how issues of power, privilege, and oppression shape individual and group identities as well as interpersonal interactions. Through interdisciplinary readings and resources as well as experiential activities, this course will explore the individual, interpersonal, institutional, and societal processes and dynamics that shape our individual and collective experiences. We will examine the psychological dimensions associated with the causes, consequences, and strategies needed to address intersecting social injustices, and students will gain a deeper understanding of their individual connections to our global society.
