In this practical seminar, we'll explore the history of organizational diversity -- and dig into the latest research on diversity, equity and inclusion from the fields of organizational communication, management, public policy, and education.

Guest speakers will discuss navigating work organizations as members of marginalized social group identities, such as age, race, gender, ability, sexuality, religion and immigration status - as well as profession and employment status.
