This course critically compares psychological diversity and the underlying reasons for such diversity. This course also considers new cultural blend, multicultural systems and multiple cultural identities.  Lastly, this course examines diversity as a social difference for gender, race, disability, religion, social class, sexual orientation and weight. You will be introduced to the principles, theories, and applications of multiculturalism. You will be required to examine your own sense of self and others’ identity, beliefs and assumptions, and behaviors. Theories, research, and skills will be explored so that you can acquire the necessary multicultural competencies for effective work with others who belong to diverse backgrounds (i.e., culture, race, ethnicity, class, & gender) in multicultural environments (i.e., public schools, community organizations).
