Students will examine diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) practices from theoretical and practical perspectives and identify opportunities for their application within a workplace setting. Key theories and concepts that will be addressed include unconscious or implicit bias, mindset theory,psychological safety, human motivation, emotional intelligence, cross-cultural awareness, leadership and power, and the ethical aspects of DEI. Finally, students will review the role of human resources (HR) as both advocate and gatekeeper for DEI programs, relative to the overall business strategy.
