PSYC 421 - Seminar in Cultural Socialization

FC SSCI CD WADV

4 credits
This seminar explores how American families practice cultural socialization, or teach youth about race, ethnicity, and other aspects of culture. Readings will draw from seminal and emerging research on cultural socialization in families of various ethnic/racial backgrounds and structures and will incorporate research on related topics (e.g., identity, discrimination, acculturation/enculturation). This course will emphasize an interdisciplinary perspective, drawing from multiple subfields of psychology (e.g., developmental, counseling) and other related disciplines (e.g., sociology, family science, human development).
