Description
An introduction to what culture is and how it intersects with psychology in the area of cultural competence. The course encourages students to begin the process of garnering cultural competency by examining their own attitudes and biases, increasing their knowledge of multicultural competency topics, and developing skills to learn about unfamiliar cultural groups. Through experiential assignments, students examine the conceptual and theoretical foundations of cultural competence and reflect on their own readiness to engage in a process of developing this aptitude.
