Overview

In a world of rapid change, the erosion of the public鈥檚 trust in authority can create division, making skilled leadership more necessary than ever. The rise of local and global movements struggling for equality have contributed to shifts in this dynamic. Over the past two decades, previously marginalised people have risen to prominence in politics, local and global activism, business and science. Examples abound of very successful leaders from a range of marginalized groups and communities whose knowledge has contributed to activism, and to create impacts on people鈥檚 struggles for social justice. This course is designed to help you develop skills in mediation and conflict resolution through positive leadership in community contexts.

This course introduces students to the idea of leadership in diverse communities through examining case studies and analysing a set of concepts and theories of leadership. Students will explore the notion of leadership across a spectrum and through case studies of prominent leaders, develop negotiation skills in various contexts including the interactions, relationships and disputes of individuals, government institutions and private corporations.
