Social Psychology

Course Syllabus

Course Planning

Along with a fairly traditional introduction to mainstream North American social psychology, this course reflects the assessment of social psychology running through my other work in critical psychology and psychology and law. We will read Elliot Aronson's The Social Animal and additional readings, including three chapters from the book Critical Psychology: An Introduction. See the syllabus for details.

Also important: General Guidelines for Papers.
