Culture, Identity, Power

In a rapidly globalizing world, culture and identity are increasingly recognized as having profound implications for professional success across a range of industries and practices. From health care to education, law enforcement to social work, an understanding and appreciation of difference are central to effective professional interactions and institutional progress. This course introduces the concepts of culture and cultural competency, presenting approaches for thinking about culture, identity, and power in professional environments, and for mitigating cultural and identity-based conflict in the workplace and beyond.
