Women in Leadership

This course is designed to enhance understanding of issues relevant to women in leadership and the implications for organizations (e.g., opportunities, exclusion).

The course will combine both scholarly and practitioner-based considerations and challenge students to surface and unsettle taken for granted assumptions about women in leadership. Guest speakers from industry and academia will be invited to share their views on specific topics to enhance the learning experience.
