Purpose
Discrimination is a major barrier to accessing resources and opportunities, recognizing group differences, and securing both descriptive and substantive political representation. It not only imposes a psychological burden on its victims but also harms societies and strains social relationships. Throughout the course, we will review key theoretical frameworks for studying discrimination, focusing on its various forms and impacts on individuals, organizations, and societies. We will combine insights from sociology, social psychology, economics, organizational and legal studies. In addition to comparing theories and summarizing empirical evidence, we will closely examine the research designs of the selected readings.
