Technology & Textbooks

This is a transferable, 3 unit college class which means that it is reasonable to expect you to read approximately one chapter per week from the recommended textbook (see info below). However I have created study guides, video tutorials, and tutorial worksheets to support your learning, which means that the textbook becomes a supplemental tool. 

All of the posted resources in Canvas are designed to deliver all the learning you’ll need, but the textbook is a wonderful supplement to help you dig deeper into the concepts and theories. I cannot overemphasize the value of our textbook. I know that sometimes reading can be time consuming and difficult, but the value of what you are learning from this book is priceless and worth the "sweat equity" and your time.

Library Rental Option

Our recommended textbook, Psychology of Prejudice and Discrimination, is also available as a digital book via the ARC Library. You may be asked to log in with your student ID number and password. Click “Digital Textbook” to see the book. Access is limited to 1 user at a time as a 2-hour loan, but if it is already being used then you can add yourself to a waitlist.

Other Rental Option

Another option is to rent this book for approximately $70 through Vital Source, which is an online platform that offers a fully accessible e-book, along with study tools such as CoachMe and notes. It is a great option to support your success!

ARC Bookstore Options

You can also purchase or rent this textbook through the Los Rios Bookstore (link will redirect you directly to the course materials on their website).

The book below is an optional reader, which means that you can choose to read this book, or not. I can tell you that my past students who have opted to read this book find it worthwhile, as it provides a deeper understanding of the impact of racism and the need for creating more inclusive spaces for marginalized students.

The optional reader can be purchased or rented, and many copies are also available for checkout at the ARC Library.
