Leadership in and for a Just Community. The term “leadership” shows up everywhere these days, sometimes with reverence and sometimes with skepticism. What does it mean in your daily life? Leadership for and in a Just Community is designed to introduce students to leadership theory and consider their role in practicing leadership on campus, in their academic discipline, and within a larger community. The course centers on leadership as a relational process, beginning with introspection, self-exploration, and reflection, and considering the effects of identity on leadership practice. This course will entail reflection on leadership issues and strategies through a critical lens to challenge widely held ideas about leadership, and prepare students to be effective in working with individuals, groups and organizations in leading and managing change on campus and beyond.
