Skrócony opis: |
(tylko po angielsku) The course focuses on theoretical and practical approaches addressing the complexities involved in managing diversity in organizations and communities. It is informed by an integrative orientation that bridges a social psychological perspective with a constructionist perspective. The theoretical approaches are demonstrated through empirical research and projects conducted in "real life" settings. The course also provides basic tools to diagnose diversity needs in organizations and communities and design an intervention which can respond to these issues. |
