PSYC 315 - Social and Cultural Psychology of Genocides

Type of Course: Graduate Seminar
This is a basic graduate seminar on the socially relevant topic of how human beings can be brought to act violently against other human beings in specific socially defined contexts. We look at contexts specifiable as genocides and analyze the various ideologically oriented efforts to apply (or not apply) that term to specific situations. The place where genocides happen may vary—these occur in any country, community, or even small group. This seminar belongs to the thematic field of cultural psychology of political actions. Such psychology cannot be advanced from any political standpoint, but needs to be constructed on a metapolitical basis.
