This course meets every week for 90 minutes and looks at the nature of prejudice and tolerance in modern society. While not focusing on any one society, specific examples of actual incidents and behavior from various lands are used as case studies in order to understand the psychological and social mechanisms of prejudice. The class is organized as a "round table discussion" seminar wherein students have read the assigned texts and come to class prepared to discuss the text and topic at hand with their classmates.
