This course examines an encompassing perspective of diversity within North American and International sport organizations. Specifically, the purpose of this course is to provide students with an analysis and understanding of the various ways that people within sport organizations can differ, and how differences based on this diversity impact life experiences and outcomes. Modules to be discussed include Foundations of Diversity and Inclusion, Forms of Diversity (e.g., race, gender, sexual orientation, age, mental and physical ability, appearance, religious beliefs, and social class), and Organizational inclusiveness.
Open to Senior & Junior Sport Management majors only.
