George Floyd Memorial Racial Bias Teach-In
Conditional Remix & Share Permitted
CC BY-NC
Rating
0.0 stars

A learning module for import to LMS on the social psychology of stereotypes, racial bias, and biased policing. Also available as a standalone module on the Blackboard Coursesites platform.

From the assignment's preamble:

Largely because of the horrific videorecorded murder of George Floyd while under the restraint of four Minneapolis police officers, citizens around the world are feeling a renewed urgency to take action to recognize and act against racism. This Teach-In is designed to give you an opportunity to learn a bit more about the psychology of stereotyping, prejudice and discrimination, the racial inequities and inequalities that exist in society and in policing, your own biases, and about the societies and organizations working to remedy these inequalities and inequities.

Here is briefly what the Teach-In involves:

Reading: You will read part of a social psychology textbook on social categorization and stereotyping, and two relatively short and approachable academic journal articles.
Watching: You will watch several brief TED-type lecture talks about the topic, and a debate on the topic "Policing is Racially Biased," presenting informed arguments both in favor of that idea and against it.
Doing: You will experience how psychologists measure one aspect of bias -- implicit bias.
Writing: You will write two short reflection-style papers, and write journal entries about your feelings and experience.

This book is designed to help students organize their thinking about psychology at a conceptual level. The focus on behaviour and empiricism has produced a text that is better organized, has fewer chapters, and is somewhat shorter than many of the leading books. The beginning of each section includes learning objectives; throughout the body of each section are key terms in bold followed by their definitions in italics; key takeaways, and exercises and critical thinking activities end each section.
