This course is for organizations ready to look deeper at the psychological and sociological underpinnings of oppression in society and how they show up at work. Drawing from Dr. Leticia Nieto’s seminal work Beyond Inclusion, Beyond Empowerment: A Developmental Strategy to Liberate Everyone. This course examines how social identities, whether or not we choose them, play a role in every human interaction, including at work, and how we can all respond with empathy, compassion and respect.
