SEM 653 - Women in Leadership
3 units (fi 6)(EITHER, 3-0-0)
The purpose of this course will be to explore past and current trends in women's leadership. Drawing on historical developments, academic research and actual leadership practice, we will examine women's leadership in the context of barriers and facilitators to women's development as leaders. An examination of the historical developments in women's leadership will provide a useful basis for understanding not only how the relevance of gender has changed leadership opportunities over the last century, but also how vestiges still impact today's challenges for women leaders. An emphasis will be placed on helping students hone, increase and develop leadership skills. Through readings, analyzing case studies, teamwork and sharing students' own stories and experiences, we will collectively learn and indeed illuminate how organizations, their senior leaders and indeed each of us can support and encourage gender diversity and inclusion.
