The psychology of oppression delves deep into the intricate psychology behind cognitive biases, stereotyping, prejudice, inequality, stigma, and discrimination within our society. In this advanced social psychological course, we will undertake a comprehensive exploration of the history of oppression, the identities and communities that have typically been minoritized, and the psychological (as well as psychosocial) impacts of such prejudice and discrimination. Integrating a global perspective, this class will unpack what the psychology of oppression is by examining the psychological factors underpinning stereotyping, bias, stigma, prejudice, and discrimination, shedding light on their profound consequences for individuals, groups, and society at large. From both theoretical frameworks and real-life experiences, we will dissect the complexities surrounding those who harbor prejudiced beliefs and those who bear the brunt of such biases. Our examination will encompass prejudice concerning race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, and more, fostering a holistic understanding of this critical psychological phenomenon.
