GISD 615 - Leadership in Global Inclusion and Social Development

3 Credit(s)

Description:
This course examines the concept of leadership and the impact of personal values, beliefs, communication styles, and experiences. It introduces students to different leadership theories and approaches to leadership development as well as leader roles and responsibilities (including ethical leadership and socially responsible leadership) in the context of global inclusion and social development. The course teaches students to assess their own leadership style through self-reflection and strategies and techniques to continually improve their leadership skills and competencies with applicability to groups, organizations, communities, and cultures. Through a combination of lectures, guest speakers, assigned readings, and group discussions, students learn about leadership practices including issues and challenges in the areas of health, disability, community organizing and development, and policy and systems change. Student grading will be based on course participation, participation in self-reflection, and as well group work (leader interviews and book club). Students in master’s and doctoral programs in global inclusion and social development can choose to take this course or the Population Needs and Global Practices course.
