On students’ and postdocs' journeys toward leadership roles in research, teaching, administration, or industry, understanding the value and implications of centering justice, equity, diversity and inclusion (JEDI) is key. In this unique 10-week service-learning course, students and postdocs will develop in-depth knowledge of JEDI principles, build leadership skills, and gain experience designing and implementing a JEDI project.
In the first seven weeks, students and postdocs will be exposed to terminology, history, and theories from the JEDI and leadership fields, and engage in self-reflection and critical discussion. In the final three weeks, students and postdocs will apply these principles and gain knowledge and skills in program planning and evaluation as they develop and present their project proposals. Students and postdocs will continue to receive mentorship as they implement and evaluate their projects over the course of the spring and summer.
