Social Change and Psychology
Competency
In this project, you will demonstrate your mastery of the following competency:
- Apply your psychological knowledge to develop a social change identity
Scenario
Your identity is a diverse collection of the perceptions and experiences that shape the lens through which you see the world. Throughout our development, our identities are in a constant state of flux: snapshots of our attitudes, interests, and aspirations at a given moment in time. As we explore the social themes that matter to us, our identities reflect how we think, how we feel, and who we are, right now. For this project, you will reflect on various psychological and social factors to develop your social change identity.
