Introduction to Intergroup Psychology -Nadine Binder
Dr. Nadine Binder will introduce you to key concepts and practices that promote positive cross-cultural contact by exploring social identity and how it is negotiated within different contexts.
Specifically, we will examine active “re-categorization,” an approach in which a fosters an overarching sense of shared identity within organizations, teams, classrooms, etc. — while simultaneously acknowledging the meaningful subgroup identities of the individuals involved.
Learn about key concepts from intergroup psychology (for example: intergroup threat) to better understand and successfully overcome both subtle and overt resistance to cross-cultural contact that is inevitable when working in diverse settings.
