Group Processes and Intergroup Relations

About this programme

Implications of these topics lead to questions such as: how and why are social groups created; how do members of different social groups relate to each other; why and how do groups enter into conflicts; and how can social psychological theories and research be utilized to improve intergroup relations using interventions? Using a combination of lectures and seminars, the course will first cover topics related to social identity, intergroup biases and emotions, and then move on to topics related to intergroup conflict and interventions aimed at improving intergroup relations.
