Course
CONF 724 - Conflict and “ISMS”
Introduction
This course is intended to examine various “isms” through the lens of knowledge obtained through research on group identity. Before introducing each of several “isms,” we will review conceptual and empirical work on how people develop, maintain, and change their identification with (or loyalty to) groups, both small and large. The implications of this phenomenon are then developed for each of several isms including nationalism and patriotism, religious fundamentalism, classism (including capitalism and socialism), racism, genderism, and ageism. We present the most recent research on social identity, leading to a consideration of each of the isms.
