This course considers diversity in the international workplace from a gender perspective. It examines ways in which men and women are socialized, and may differently enter, and participate in, work life. Topics to be covered may include some or all of the following: gender construction, employment decisions, sex segregation of occupations, communication preferences, gender gap in earnings, confidence gap, work-life balance, cross-cultural diversity, gender and managerial behavior, leadership, best practices in gender equity, team work, the inclusion of non-gender-conforming individuals, and the intersection of gender and race. Case studies may be used to problematize gender issues in specific organizational contexts, and in society at large.
