Border Leadership

Catalog description

Border leadership is designed to study leadership expressions, processes, and values within the context of the US/Mexico Border. Students will develop and analyze the processes of leadership, including but not limited to, engagement, value-sharing, motivation, and decision- making that occur within organizations whose members span the border. We will engage in the study of leadership practices, theories, and questions involving by defining and discussing how people on the border connect with others, how people on the border consider leaders and their capacity to produce change, and how people on the border become aware of the many factors that affect leadership in their communities. This course focuses on making sense of how to build better relationships with other groups in our border communities with a social justice perspective.
