Social Cognition
Course Description
During our next five weeks together, we will be exploring how we think about ourselves, others, and our interactions. We will be learning about, discussing, and critiquing social cognition through early influential studies as well as current theories and research. We will also explore how social cognition can give us insight into our everyday experiences, current events, and be applied to societal issues.
