ORGL 506 Leadership and Diversity

 

 

 

Through the application of social constructionism theory, participants in this course explore the ways on which racial, ethnic, gender, and class identities are socially constructed in the United States, and the implications of this for the global community. Intercultural communication, learning about various identities, practices, and cultures, and bridging differences are the foci of developing an understanding of the various roles individuals occupy in our society.
