Undergraduate level courses:
    Leadership in Organizations, Fall 2017, Fall 2018
  • Leadership is an important part of organizational life and can be broadly understood as those people and processes that have the ability to influence our ideas and actions. In this course, we will examine various theories that provide explanations for understanding leadership in the context of organizations specifically and society more broadly. In today’s world, many different notions and practices of leadership co-exist, sometimes harmoniously and sometimes at odds with each other. These different notions and practices of leadership are formed based on our cultural, social, and political values among others; our identities, histories, experiences; our assumptions about people, behaviors and organizations.  This course provides a foundation for understanding leadership in organizations through exposure to various theories and debates in the field, case studies and experiential approaches. 
    Building Entrepreneurial Ecosystems for Economic Inclusion, Spring 2018
  • Entrepreneurial ecosystems represent one of the most recent developments for fostering economic development as leaders globally aspire to build successful ecosystems in their cities and regions. . This class will examine the emergence of entrepreneurial ecosystems in different cities and the various roles, functions and goals of entrepreneur support organizations (ESOs) in these contexts. These organizations support the development of social and cultural capital in entrepreneurs and act as intermediaries in connecting them with the existing resources of an ecosystem. At the same time, ESOs may engage in gatekeeping behavior that replicates or even furthers inequalities in access to resources for certain groups of entrepreneurs, such as women and minorities. The class will focus on different organizational practices and policies for building inclusive entrepreneurial ecosystems. Students will have the opportunity to visit local ESOs during the course to enhance their learning of ecosystems, ESOs and inclusive economic development. 
    Independent study on diversity at accelerators, Spring 2018
    
Future of Work, Spring 2019 
  • Technological advances in AI, VR, AR, machine and deep learning have the potential to substantially change our work experiences, organizations and society. These changes can bring many positive benefits, such as new work options in the gig economy or new opportunities for start-ups. At the same time, such advances can raise ethical concerns and questions when technology is used to predict human behavior, replace employees, or drive autonomous vehicles among other examples. Using a combination of case studies, projects, academic articles and current media materials, this class will examine three issues related to these new trends: how the world of work is changing, why these changes are important and the skills necessary to shape the future of work in ways that are sustainable, ethical and inclusive.
