IDIV 501 - Globalization and Diversity

Institution:

Simmons University

Subject:

Description:

This course is an intensive examination of the importance of multicultural competence for the graduate professional programs and upper level undergraduates at Simmons College. Undergraduates and students in the graduate schools of Social Work, Management, Library Science and Health Studies will increase their cross-cultural awareness, knowledge and skills to respond appropriately to the problems and opportunities of both domestic and international demographic changes and globalization. Additionally, the multidisciplinary nature of this course provides opportunity for multilevel discussions and interventions (individual, group, organizational and institutional) as students are exposed to problems specific to professional areas other than their own while also investigating the commonality of cross cultural dilemmas in all professions. The class uses the recent hurricane Katrina disaster as a case study that will help integrate multidisciplinary perspectives and bring them to discussion.
