PSYC 275 - MULTICULTURAL PSYCHOLOGY

Hours: 5
This course introduces students in psychology and related disciplines to multiculturalism. The course will use the experiences of specific co-cultural groups such as African Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans to study cultural pluralism in the United States. The history, cultural attitudes, beliefs, and worldviews of these groups will be studied, highlighting similarities, differences, and experiences in the United States. Topics include ethnic identity development, acculturation, assimilation, and institutional racism. Essential to the course is an examination of theoretical and empirical work addressing the psychological consequences of living in a culture with the principles, ideals, and values nested in a Western worldview.
Prerequisites: PSYC 100 or permission of instructor.
