The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is looking for a part-time instructor to be section instructor for COM 643 Diversity, Inclusion and Leadership (3 credits) for the October 2022 session (9/28/22-12/20/22)

Synchronous sessions will meet on Mondays 9:00-10:45pm EST (10/10-12/19)

Course description: This course provides students with the tools to analytically and critically examine the forces which make the pursuit of diversity and inclusion more difficult, and to design strategies to be more effective at inclusion in organizations.
Students will learn the implications of gender and racial prejudice and discrimination, privilege, and stereotypes. They will learn how these forces manifest themselves in media content and organization and will consider the challenges of and opportunities for furthering inclusion as a remedy to the damage some of these forces inflict on workplaces. This course deals with issues that are at once large, sweeping, and very personal. Students will be encouraged to be active contributors in discussions. It is the hope that they will express themselves as contributors to their community/workplace/society from the point of view of their own cultures and identities. Students will be challenged to think of issues from various perspectives, some that they may not have previously considered or dismissed out of hand. Through this course, students will be called upon to leave any racial/ethnic/class, gender, and sexual-orientation-based comfort zone behind. The opportunity to learn about life from people who do not share students’ identities will be presented; there may be times when students may not like everything they hear. At the very least, it is the hope that through this course, they will become more prepared to learn from and contribute to an ever-more diverse society. Qualifications

EEO Statement
Syracuse University is an equal-opportunity, affirmative-action institution. The University prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, national origin, citizenship, ethnicity, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law to the extent prohibited by law.

Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members. Commitment to a Diverse and Inclusive Campus Community

The University community recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in an inherently diverse country and world made up of people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, cultural traditions, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
