Diversity and Ethics in the Workplace

Catalog description

This course will help students understand the importance and significance of advancing diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI) and ethical decision-making in the workplace. The course introduces theories and concepts, research, and practice regarding diversity management and inclusion in the workplace. Adopting psychological, sociological, and economic perspectives, we uncover how biases and stereotypes form and combine with organizational and societal structures to introduce inequality within and across organizations. The course also explores how organizations and managers can engage in a structured, ethical decision-making process as they evaluate options for addressing these inequalities.
