DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to help students understand the diverse connections between the individual and society. The course explores how modern social institutions (e.g. media, education) and culture shape us as unique individuals. We will examine key concepts and theories in social psychology written by a variety of social theorists. In this course, you will be asked to think critically about your status/es and roles in society. We will discuss the dynamic tension between the individual and society: exploring how the individual is influenced by various aspects of their environment and how s/he may shape the environment as agent of change. In addition to studying various approaches to understanding - or theorizing - the self, we will work together to form a safe and productive learning community.
