Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Foundations

These days it is rare to find a business or organization that does not list Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) as a top priority. Business leaders are expected to lead diverse teams and support DEI, yet little formal education is provided to leaders in the field on the subject. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Foundations addresses this gap by introducing the fundamental concepts, frameworks, and theories that inform how we as leaders make meaning of diversity, equity, and inclusion personally and professionally. This course is an excellent opportunity for those interested in developing their ability to; understand and engage in conversations about diversity and inclusion; develop the ability to speak to the role DEI will play in their professional career; explore how their own identities relate to various systems of power, inclusion, and exclusion and contribute to building a more equitable workplace. Engaging with DEI is no longer a choice -- it is imperative. By the end of this course, students will have a working knowledge of the fundamental aspects of DEI and the tools required to engage in this work.
