| Description: |
This course will explore the issues of prejudice as they relate to human behavior from the perspective of the individual in various social contexts. To address the different learning styles of students, we will utilize readings, films, in-class activities/discussions, and out-of-class (field) assignments to investigate the impact of prejudice on various aspects of living. |
