This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the increasing importance of diversity in organisations. We study a range of theories and focus on how to apply those theories to real-world situations.
This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of the increasing importance of diversity in organisations. Throughout the course, we reconceptualise the meaning of diversity by moving away from a set of given demographic traits, and study how organisations actively create diversity. We use a variety of multi-disciplinary literature to study how diversity is experienced and understood within organisations. Part 1 of the course is being facilitated by our visiting scholar, Professor Yehuda Baruch from the Norwich Business School, University of East Anglia. The aim of this part of the course is to provide students with an advanced understanding of diversity in careers, through an understanding of the labour markets and the management of career diversity in the postmodern world of work. Part 2 of the course is being facilitated by Dr Sarah Wright and will focus on contemporary issues related to diversity in organisations.The course starts at the micro level of the individual, through the organisation, and up to the macro levels of national and global society. Particular attention will be paid to transformations of work environments and to technologies likely to affect graduates in their impending careers.
