Critical Ldsh: Social Justice

Catalog description

This course explores how historical relations of power have shaped current leadership practices in institutions such as schools, universities, health organizations, or non-profits. By engaging students in critical conversations on how social constructions of race, class, ethnicity, and gender have articulated notions of leadership that have further marginalized already disempowered groups, the course will pay particular attention to issues of knowledge, representation and identity. Ultimately, the course offers new analytical tools to create new spaces of possibilities in leadership grounded on the notions of justice, solidarity and allyship.
