This unit orientates students towards current developments in managerial practice on workplace diversity issues and relates them to sociological and feminist theories of work and organisations. Through Australian and international case studies the unit evaluates the policies and theoretical frameworks informing strategies on gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, age and family responsibilities. Students design and execute a group research project involving managers and experts in the field, from which they gain practical and analytical skills in equity and workforce issues. -- Course Website
