This 8-week course introduces students to meanings, practices, and theories connected to diversity and inclusion, and the implications of these within an increasingly interconnected world. The course approaches diversity and inclusion as central to professional and societal well- being and success. Students will critically examine the ways in which power, privilege, oppression, diversity, and inclusion inform everyday lives, organizations, institutions, and societies. Students will engage with multiple perspectives on human differences through multidisciplinary lenses to increase their awareness and understanding of the varied ways in which social identities and cultural beliefs inform social and professional settings on an individual basis and systemically.
