Class description
This course is designed to expose graduate students to theoretical and empirical social psychological research on prejudice and stigma. Although we will cover major theoretical perspectives about the nature and function of prejudice, much of the course will be spent examining the cognitive, emotional, behavioral, and health effects of prejudice on its targets. We will also discuss the implications of research on stigma to disciplines outside of psychology, such as law.
