Abstract

Psychology courses often overlook social class. Instructors of social psychology courses have many ways to consider individuals from all social class backgrounds and include social class as a topic throughout our courses. This chapter offers guidance on textbook adoption, course syllabus construction, avoiding isolating/classist language in the classroom, and common classist beliefs in higher education. Strategies for incorporating social class include specific resources and examples on incorporating social class research through topics such as research methodology, social comparisons, stereotyping, etc. This chapter also discusses pros and cons of activities that call attention to social class, including the possible (unintentional) perpetuation of classism in the classroom.
