Topic:  The Social Psychology of Self

This course explores the concept of self and related concepts as
used in social psychological theory and research.  It begins with an
overview and history of that use; it then discusses various
contemporary perspectives on self, alternative theoretical usages,
and empirical research making use of the concept.  Finally, the
course focuses on "identity theory" and related research.  While
there are lectures, the course will basically proceed as a seminar;
students will prepare papers to be presented to the class.
