    • The Psychology of Ideas and Beliefs . INT 86VK

    Why do we develop strong belief systems? Why is it hard to hear perspectives that oppose our own? These questions will serve as the foundation for this course whereby students will engage in critical thinking, viewpoint diversity, and civil disagreement. Students will be exposed to a range issues that are: less known (e.g., the struggles of men and boys), novel (e.g., Theory of Racelessness), and controversial (e.g., criticism of DEI programming). Students will reflect on their own beliefs and will consider what influenced their stance on these matters. Each week, students will read, watch, or listen to something that challenges their beliefs on a particular issue and introduces them to a different perspective.
