HD 612 - Working with Women in a Cross-Cultural Context

3 Credit(s)

This course explores the impact gender role orientation, culture/ethnicity, class, and age has on the communication dynamics between women. Identifying behaviors and expectations that impede or help the communication process, students will explore issues of maternalism in the workplace, issues of friendship and workplace demands, learn to differentiate between style and performance to depersonalize responses, and how to accept both competitive and cooperative behaviors. We will also develop strategies for creating open lines of communication, team building, and conflict mediation.
