This is a course on social norms, the rules that glue societies
together. It teaches how to diagnose social norms, and how to
distinguish them from other social constructs, like customs or
conventions. These distinctions are crucial for effective policy
interventions aimed to create new, beneficial norms or eliminate harmful
ones.
The course teaches how to measure social norms and the expectations that support them, and how to decide whether they cause specific behaviors. The course is a joint Penn-UNICEF project, and it includes many examples of norms that sustain behaviors like child marriage, gender violence and sanitation practices.
