PSY 352G - PII Culture and Psychology

(Perspectives II Global course) Imagine you woke up one morning to find that your culture had been replaced by another. Could you still be you? In this course we will learn how culture influences our values, beliefs, perceptions, and the very definitions of what a person is and their place in the world. We will answer questions about the relationship between psychology and culture such as:. What is the value of studying the intersection of culture and psychology? What are the challenges of doing so? What becomes visible at this intersection that otherwise might be invisible? To what extent and in what ways can such study help us transcend socio-cultural boundaries instead of being bound by them in thought and action? Course Codes: R. Prereq: PSY.Q 101 or PSY.Q 102.
