COG2075 — Racial Cognition
This course will render an in-depth analysis of several topics in racial cognition. Racialized thinking continues to have a significant impact on the lives of White and BIPOC people all over the world. This course connects the evolutionary roots of racialized thinking to a variety of persistent cognitive biases and examines their impact in context like the United States. It pays special attention to implicit bias, microaggressions, stereotype threat, and how these phenomena shape cultural constructions like "crime" and "American" for example.
