Brief Introduction
Develop insights into and perspectives on racism, intersectionality, and Emotional Tax in the workplace; create an introductory awareness of how to connect across differences; and take action to dismantle bias in workplaces and communities.
Description
In this course, we explore the concepts of racism, intersectionality, and “Emotional Tax” and their impact on marginalized racial or ethnic groups in and outside of work. Emotional Tax—being on guard to protect against bias because of race, ethnicity, and gender and experiencing the associated effects on well-being and ability to thrive at work—is often acutely painful. Develop the inclusive leadership skills, foundational insights, points of self-reflection, and action plan to take the first steps to reduce the negative impact of exclusion and unfair treatment in the workplace and beyond.
