MGMT*2190 - Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the Workplace
Course Description
Managing and leading in a global, diverse world requires specialized knowledge and skills. In this course students develop a theoretical and applied understanding of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) in the workplace from a leadership and followership perspective. Leveraging scholarly and community knowledge, students examine and discuss contemporary events in organizations and leadership through personal reflection, facilitated discussions and a final group presentation.
