Course Title

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at Work

Description

This course adopts an intersectional perspective to investigate the multidimensional factors that influence the representation and advancement of members of marginalized groups in the workplace. Topics include, among others, norms, stereotypes, and expectations, organizational inequality regimes, subconscious bias, and microaggressions. Based on this understanding, we examine common strategies to address workplace inequality: individual coping and defense mechanisms (e.g., emotional labor, managing up), collective action (e.g., networks, allyship), and organizational policies and practices. An important objective of this course is to identify and apply inclusive, constructive, and compassionate ways to create an equitable workplace.
