Course details
Understanding the complexities of gender can help in efforts to foster a more inclusive work environment. How is gender defined? Who defines it? How has the definition changed over time? These questions and many more point far beyond the binary. Join instructor Cory Wade in this approachable new course that explores the concept of gender, how it’s historically been defined, how it’s being redefined in today’s world of work, and how to create an environment where everyone has a voice and feels a sense of belonging in the workplace, no matter how they identify as a person. Along the way, Cory offers insights on core concepts such as the gender spectrum, gender expression, gender affirmation, the origin of gender, gender politics, gender variant empathy, common misconceptions of gender, allyship, and more.
