Prejudice, Discrimination & the Diversity Challenge

17.06.2024 – 21.06.2024

This summer school addresses the pervasive issues of prejudice and discrimination in contemporary societies. It brings together experts and students from various countries to explore the origins, consequences, and ways to counteract prejudice.

The program includes lectures by keynote speakers in social psychology, complemented by talks from other disciplines like law, economics, gender studies, etc. Participants engage in individual readings, class discussions, group exercises, and presentations, focusing on prejudice related to ethnic origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age, social class, disability, and unemployment.

The course provides a unique opportunity to learn from practitioners in Geneva, discussing implemented policies aimed at reducing discrimination and promoting workplace diversity.

Students will gain a deep understanding of the concepts and theories related to prejudice, discrimination, and diversity, critically analyze societal phenomena, identify prevention policies, and deliver presentations on specific forms of discrimination.
