Syllabus
This unit is an interdisciplinary analysis of diversity as a positive aspect of globalised organisations. In this unit you will explore the full range of what diversity means in organisations where people work together across boundaries of culture, gender, sexuality, family situations, disability and age, and communities are built to negotiate differences resulting from immigration, refugee movements and claims by indigenous owners. This unit supports a move away from simple affirmations that 'diversity is good' to investigate the effects and uses of diversity in public, private and community sector organisations. It covers strategies such as diversity management and gender mainstreaming and their impact on human resources and customer relations.
