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 in this advanced seminar will develop sensitivity and critical thinking regarding current issues, professional practices, and public health paradigms that may be influenced by factors such as age, generational influence, ethnicity, race, religion and spirituality, gender, socioeconomic status, sexual orientation, national origin, and disability. This seminar is discussion based and experiential in nature and requires students to actively reflect, 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.
