Overview of class

PSYCH 404-0 is a graduate-level seminar that explores the concept of "diversity science" as a launching point to think deeply about what diversity is, how diversity has been defined and studied in U.S. psychological research, and its implications for doing science that moves us toward a more just and equitable society. Students will grapple with the nuanced language and definitional tools of diversity, the ever-present history of racism, sexism, and exclusion in diversity-relevant research, and how to take-up critical perspectives and approaches. The course adopts a historical and interdisciplinary perspective, learning from scholarship that engages diversity-relevant topics, with the goal of deepening and broadening our field's understanding of and approach to diversity science.
