This seminar will deal with how perceptions of the self and perceptions of other people are related, how these perceptions are different, and how they interact. In particular, the course will focus on phenomena that involve both self and other, rather than perceptions of only one in isolation of the other. The readings for this course come from a variety of journals and books. There is no textbook.
Required readings are to be read by everyone.
Related readings are suggested but not required, and additional related readings may be suggested throughout the course, by other seminar members or the instructors. In addition, full references are provided for all the readings, so you may read them in the original journal or book if you wish. This course is a seminar, thus class participation is extremely important. All participants are expected to read each required reading prior to class and be prepared to discuss it fully. In particular, participants should try to go beyond the information provided in the readings, raising new questions, critiquing methodology, and making connections to other readings.
