The central theme of the module is the balance between fluidity and stability in the way we define ourselves and others, personally and socially. This framing allows the possibility of exploring a range of important phenomena in personality and social psychology that are linked by that broad theme. The module is also intended to balance theoretical models of the self and social perception with practical outcomes like personal wellbeing and social change.
