EDA 7400 DIVERSITY, EQUITY, INCLUSION, AND BELONGING IN ATHLETICS (3)

This course examines a perspective of diversity, ethical management in sport, foundational theories, understanding how people differ and strategies for creating inclusive athletic organizations. This course also explains that diversity, equity and inclusion is a foundation but an organization with belonging is the goal. Understanding the history and biases associated with race, gender, ableness, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, and social class, are specific areas of emphasis. The final step is creating belonging within an organization where employees, athletes and all associated feel accepted as members, valued and connected.
