• Individual pitch: Students will identify a diversity related business issue where biases, prejudices or other forms of implicit associations impair individual and group outcomes, and which are likely to create a significant challenge or opportunity for the management of a diverse organisation in the modern society (you can choose a specific organization you work for or one that is of interest to you future career). You can focus on demographic (e.g. race, age, gender, nationality, ethnicity), or other aspects of diversity (sexual orientation, religion, disciplinary backgrounds, disability, etc).
• Group project: In this group assignment you will create a diversity related training that is likely to have a transformational change on organizations and their employees. Your final delivery will be a training session in which you will try to convey the particular challenge (e.g. racial bias, glass ceiling effect, etc) and a way to overcome it in a manner that could be useful to organizations in changing their practices and to individuals to challenge their biases and/or ineffective ways of working. The important part of the training is that your audience finds the proposed ideas useful and relevant and that they feel engaged throughout the training.
• Group presentation: Based on the group report, students will prepare a training session of no more than 15 minutes. Your training can take on different forms. It can be a role play, a simulation, a lecture format, an exercise or any other form that will be most effective in getting the message across and in, potentially, creating a transformative experience for your classmates (their willingness of doing things differently or their modified interpretation of the world).
• Reflective essay: Students will prepare an essay that reflects on the experiences in this unit and answers the provided questions. The essay will contain key insights gained throughout the class.
