Immerses students in the philosophy and learning outcomes of the BPhil program by providing them with a critical and holistic perspective on leadership and developing their essential academic skills (including information literacy, critical thinking, written and verbal communication). Foundational questions about the nature of knowledge, identity, and ethics will be examined as a means of growing students' capacities to deliberate, learn from diverse perspectives, and work with others. Students will be further introduced to critical theories and core concepts related to socially responsible leadership (such as equality, power, justice) and will engage in projects that relate these concepts to practical challenges faced in contemporary communities and organizations. Emphasis is placed on teaching students how to integrate theoretical and experiential learning in their education, while growing their understanding and appreciation of interdisciplinary approaches to studying complex problems. |
