Very thorough and well taught. I believe this course would work as an excellent introductory course for anyone in the workforce. Thank you for taking the time to create it!
Thanks a lot to the educators of the course.It's a beautifully designed course and as a professor myself can understand the hard work that goes in it.Well done job!
Short but a beautifully concise course on understanding gender and sexuality. It also gives one tools to make the workplace an inclusive environment for LGBTQIA, and eradicate discrimination.
If you need a basic understanding of the every day experiences of the LGBTQIA+ community, especially in the workplace, this is the best place to start.
