DI 68501 - Introduction to Diversity & Inclusion

Credits: 3

This course will introduce students to the study of Diversity and Inclusion and the concepts of inclusion and exclusion through critically examining ascribed statuses, the roots and intractability of the exclusion of groups cast as subordinated, the concepts of privilege and disprivilege, and the different realities at the intersections of multiple minority group statuses. The course will prepare students to become change agents, able to contribute to the deinstitutionalizing of the “isms” in their educational, employment, and social network environments. This course will be offered annually, as a first semester requirement for incoming cohorts.
