The Psychology of Diversity is open to all graduate students in Psychology and related disciplines. Its primary goal is to complement existing courses by reaping the benefits of an increasingly diverse society. The course addresses various models of the role of culture in academic study and discourse, such as universalism vs. relativism, essentialism vs. deconstructionism, individualism vs. collectivism, assimilation vs. multiculturalism, the emic-etic debate, and subjectivity vs. objectivity. Emphasis is placed on topics and concepts that help explain cultural variation and similarity, and how they contribute to a multicultural society.
