I requested to teach this course “Diversity” is fuzzy, overused, misused

Why Workplace Diversity?

Employees + managers are rarely trained to

navigate challenges in a diverse workforce

People are not held accountable for how they

handle cultural differences + conflicts

How will we learn?

articles presentations case studies

TED talks current events video clips

podcasts creative projects pop culture
