This 4-course specialization begins with "Fundamentals of Diversity," taught by Professor Celia de Anca. This 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. The third course, "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. Finally, in the fourth course of the specialization, "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.

Great course! I strongly recommend to anyone. Useful as an overview course with optional deep dives for more specific interests.

Great course
There could have been a better way to evaluate our learnings than the final assignment. I did not mind doing it but this exercise wasn't clear from the beginning which not only delayed the completion of the course but also lowered the quality of the experience overall. I would have preferred to join a virtual session and be a part of a conversation where we could have discussed everything we read and watched throughout the 4 weeks of sessions. Not very realistic to expect a student to be dedicating all this extra time to write an essay while taking a masters. This would be my only suggestion the course was wonderfully designed and I am glad this is a must in our program!
Wonderful course, I enjoyed it a lot.
The course is informative and has good supplemental readings and videos. I think there should be an alternative to getting the certificate as you can set your own pace for the course, there is no guarantee that your final peer graded assignment will be graded within a specific timeframe. Doesn't seem beneficial after the time dedication.
As usual, the main problem with this course is getting someone to actually rate your final assignment so you can "officially" finish it and get your certificate... Still waiting for that to happen. Regarding the course in itself, quite basic. The best module is the 3rd, both in contents and in flow.
