This 4-course specialization begins with "Fundamentals of Diversity," taught by Professor Celia de Anca. The first course introduces the three key types of diversity: demographic, experiential, and cognitive. The course then dives more specifically into the demographic component of diversity and addresses the challenges of managing diversity in organizations.
The second course of the specialization, "Cognitive and Experiential Diversity" taught by Salvador Aragón, takes a novel approach to diversity, focusing on our experiential and cognitive diversities and how these types of diversities can be leveraged to build successful teams.
In the third course, "Diversity with Inclusion in Organizations" co-taught by Itziar Vizcaino Toscano and Ariadne M. Ferro Bajuelo, learners will focus more specifically on inclusion efforts, touching on topics such as pseudo-inclusion, unconscious bias, microaggressions, and intersectionality.
Finally, the fourth course of the specialization, "Diversity and Belonging in Businesses and Organizations" taught by Jessica D. Tollette, centers on how to achieve a meaningful sense of belonging in organizations and covers topics such as workplace culture and well-being.

Practices - How to design an organizational culture that promotes the well-being and belonging of all its constituents through kindness, empathy, openness, and compassion. People - How to leverage the creation of affinity groups and task forces to overcome structural biases, build community, and create a greater sense of belonging.

For any group to perform at its best, it’s important that its members feel valued. This can only be achieved if the team, beginning with the team leader, fosters an environment of inclusion where each person has the opportunity to contribute and is valued for his or her distinctive skills and perspectives. We’ll be introducing you to established frameworks, including Kathryn Sorrells’ Intercultural Praxis Model, which will serve as the guide for this course. Through this model, we’ll learn how to raise awareness about our reactions to difference, optimize critical analysis, and develop responsible social action. In this course, we’ll also review some of the basic concepts that make up the process of inclusion. We’ll discuss theories surrounding inclusion in organizations, and we’ll provide you with strategies on how to react when a moment of exclusion occurs within your team. In addition to the foundational knowledge you'll gain from this course, you’ll also take away a practical toolkit for fostering an inclusive environment. This course can be taken independent of or along with its companion courses: Fundamentals of Diversity; Cognitive and Experiential Diversity; and Diversity and Belonging in Businesses and Organizations.
