Cultural Intelligence in a Diverse World

Catalog description

This course emphasizes the importance of developing cultural intelligence in the context of a diverse society. Students are introduced to the paradigms of difference beyond their insular boundaries and environments. Multiple perspectives are explored related to notions of difference, bias, and privilege and how they impact the way we see and interact with the world around us. Students will also develop skills to communicate effectively in their working languages when faced with controversy that stems from topics such as race, ethnicity, sex, gender identity, social class, and ability.
