Additional Course Details:
DEI Leadership in Practice:
In DEI Leadership in Practice, students will take a deep dive exploring their identities and how they are connected to larger systems of power, privilege, and oppression. Students will explore the concepts of intersectionality, the cycle of socialization, performative allyship, accountability, and the 4 I’s of oppression. Students will examine the idea of “power” within the context of organizational leadership and culture and ways to create successful and sustainable change in the workforce.
Through weekly reflection assignments, discussion-based activities and participation, and a culminating research project, students will be able to understand their own connections and relationships to identity and articulate concrete recommendations for workplace equity and organizational culture. The first half of the course will focus on foundational concepts of DEI while the second part of the course will cover various readings and guest speakers discussing the real-life implications of DEI in practice and identifying strategies to move this work forward. In this class, students will learn that “you don’t have to be a subject matter expert to be an effective change-maker” (Zheng, 2023), but rather, you just have to have the right tools to measure your impact.
