Diversity, Inclusion and You

Minor content

The minor will discuss identity, self-awareness and help you understand how your personal experiences and group memberships have formed you. From this starting point, you will discover the role of biases, prejudice and stereotyping. By learning to look at things from different perspectives and by empathising with others, you become aware of our own personal biases and how to overcome them. Here is where you learn what diversity and inclusion is and how it impacts you and your position in society. Through exploring the concepts of resistance, agency and deep democracy, the minor aims to contribute to a better world.  

Structure of the minor

The minor is 15 ECTS and there are two tests connected to it, a portfolio and an assessment. The Learning Outcomes of the minor are:

• The student describes various societal developments associated to Diversity and Inclusion and relates them to their own experiences.
• The student analyses on their own identity, and recognises projection and attribution of identity by society and others.
• The student recognises systems, assumptions and mechanisms related to equity in a diverse society.
• The student articulates how their and other peoples mindset can contribute to a more inclusive environment.

You will cooperate with your fellow students intensively and with the diverse team of lecturers.
