MSP 5060 Seminar in Understanding Cultural Diversity
The course begins with the premise that American and global societies are built by people from diverse cultural backgrounds. This requires citizens to develop an understanding about a wide range of values, beliefs, and actions. The course seeks to develop an awareness and sensitivity toward others by examining some of the stereotypes which hinder the understanding of diverse people and groups, including those which shape our attitudes and actions toward racial and ethnic minorities, gender and age-based groups, and those with alternative lifestyles. Certain class sessions will be devoted to exploring the stereotypes which shape behavior toward a specific group.
