Teaching

This course will introduce you to social psychology – the scientific study of human attitudes and behaviors. Students will learn about scientific inquiry, social psychological theories and evidence, as well as develop skills in applying theoretical principles to contemporary, real-world phenomena.

Our goal is to develop a historically and culturally contextualized understanding of contemporary Native American psychology by reading and critically assessing empirical and theoretical work within the social, cultural, developmental, and clinical areas of psychology.

The purpose of this course is to provide an advanced-level, broad overview of the field of social psychology for graduate students in social psychology and related disciplines, focusing on influential theories and methods that have shaped the field.
