Human Dignity and Diversity
Students gain a deeper appreciation of human dignity and diversity through an examination of concepts such as conformity, obedience, discrimination, prejudice, implicit bias, and identity. They learn how cultural and social forces reshape identity and group dynamics. They analyze research-based strategies in promoting empathy and effective communication amongst individuals of different cultures, ethnicities, beliefs, and identities. This concentration prepares students to promote effective dialogue across differences, promote collaboration in diverse communities, and advocate for human rights. It prepares students for careers and graduate study in psychology, education, social work, public policy, and other fields committed to promoting a peaceful and just world.
