Leading Across Differences: Understanding Identity, Dialogue, and Influence

Course information provided by the 2025-2026 Catalog.

As a leader in any organizational context, your ability to collaborate with a diverse range of colleagues is a key driver of individual influence and collective success. Through a highly interactive and engaging process known as intergroup dialogue, this course will provide students with an opportunity to: recognize how social identities shape experiences in academic and workplace settings, public image, and approaches to leadership; develop and apply critical dialogue skills in order to have meaningful communication and effective collaboration across social, cultural and power difference; and identify and act upon opportunities for exerting influence to create more equitable and inclusive interpersonal interactions and team/organizational structures. The primary assignments for this course are readings and written reflections with class participation being a significant portion of the grade.
