EDCI 8260 - History and Psychology of Racism


The history and psychology of race and racism is examined, and an analysis of how racism manifests and is sustained by individuals living within systems of power and privilege (micro and macro levels) is explored.  An in-depth examination of unconscious racial bias, awareness of privilege, and the impact of ideologies that sustain racism, including colorblind ideology and meritocracy is conducted.  Course readings allow students to individually build a knowledge base and develop multiple perspectives.  Research methods for the psychology of racism are reviewed as a basis for interpreting research results.  Notion of Whiteness as normative in the United States is investigated.  How those notions of race and racist beliefs and practices exist in the U.S. (e.g., politics, education, psychological perspectives) are included.
