PSYC 419 - Psychology of (In)justice


CR: 3
Prerequisite: One 300-level PSYC course. This upper-level seminar covers psychological research relating to justice and injustice. All major sub-disciplines of psychology (cognitive, social, developmental, clinical, neuroscience, etc.) have research-based insights to offer. Our goal will be to synthesize the material through a close study of primary sources in all of these sub-disciplines and integrative reviews that connect them. We will focus closely on applications of basic psychological science (paying special attention, for example, to how psychological research informs the justice system) as well as on emerging issues (for example, the controversy over recent advances in lie detection via brain scanning). Offered alternate years.
