Description

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.

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 Dr Clare Lange.  The aim of this part of the course is to provide students with an advanced understanding of careers, how careers can be managed and developed, and the diversity of careers 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.
