Topic: Emotion and the Embodied Mind

This course introduces the scientific study of emotions, including where they come from and how they shape our perception of the world around us. We will discuss the ways in which action and thought are grounded in ongoing bodily needs and activity, how the mind makes meaning from incoming sensory input from the external world and the internal milieu, and how emotions both emerge from and shape these processes.

Topic: Social Psychology of Prejudice

When you meet someone new, you make a guess about their gender, race/ethnicity, and age. You do this really quickly and often without thought. These group identities then guide how you interact with that person and your own sense of yourself. Here, we’ll read scientific articles about group biases. We’ll learn about bias in minds (how individual people think) and bias in systems (collective, institutional). We’ll learn about different ways the mind works (psychological processes) that contribute to biases and discrimination. We’ll often focus on gender and race/ethnicity groups. But you’ll also learn about groups more generally.

Additional Course Details:

Socio-moral judgment development:

This course focuses on how, from early in life, people start making judgments and decisions in their social lives—as well as why they can sometimes act in biased and/or sub-optimal ways. Social judgments can take many forms, such as deciding whether someone is real or not real, similar to or different from others, worth trusting or avoiding, better or worse than others, and so on. We will examine the roles that age, mental capacities, and context can play in shaping the ways in which we evaluate other individuals.
