PSYD 202 - Development of Racial & Ethnic Identity

This course examines the importance of racial and ethnic identity, what dynamics shape racial and ethnic identity, and how racial and ethnic identity relate to individual and group human behavior. This course will utilize theoretical and empirical literature to explore issues of race and ethnicity across the lifespan (infancy to childhood, adolescence to adulthood, and adulthood to late life) in order to understand what they are, how they are developed, what they mean to people, and what kind of individual awareness each of us has of our racial and ethnic identity.
