Professor Jane Risen will teach a mini course on Diversity in Organizations.
Event Details
Many organizations that are interested in promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion don't know how to achieve their goals. Professor Risen developed the course "Diversity in Organizations" a few years ago with the aim of using insights from behavioral science to promote organizational health as it relates to diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this presentation, Professor Risen will try to distill the content from the full course to highlight a few important themes and concepts. Specifically, the presentation will consider 5 big questions we can ask ourselves when trying to foster diversity, equity, and inclusion: What, Who, Why, When, and How. For each question, she will note common mistakes that organizations make and discuss strategies we can use to do better.
Chicago Booth Advancement is proud to present this event inspired by the Full-Time Class of 2020 Class Gift Campaign. Thank you to our newest generation of alumni for your dedication to educating and empowering the Booth community on topics of diversity, equity and inclusion.
