"The Fundamentals of Diversity" is the first course in IE University's specialization titled "The Journey to Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging." This course will provide learners with the basic tools to navigate diversity and diverse organizations. Throughout the course, learners will analyze how to promote diversity across demographic categories such as gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, race, ethnicity, culture, disability, and age. The course will support learners in identifying the challenges that may arise when striving to create diverse and inclusive workplaces, and ultimately empower learners to create solutions and policies to overcome those challenges. This course is designed for all: students and young professionals as well as older and senior professionals looking for a better understanding of diversity, inclusion, and the critical role these factors play in an organization.

Great course! I strongly recommend to anyone. Useful as an overview course with optional deep dives for more specific interests.

Great course
There could have been a better way to evaluate our learnings than the final assignment. I did not mind doing it but this exercise wasn't clear from the beginning which not only delayed the completion of the course but also lowered the quality of the experience overall. I would have preferred to join a virtual session and be a part of a conversation where we could have discussed everything we read and watched throughout the 4 weeks of sessions. Not very realistic to expect a student to be dedicating all this extra time to write an essay while taking a masters. This would be my only suggestion the course was wonderfully designed and I am glad this is a must in our program!
Wonderful course, I enjoyed it a lot.
The course is informative and has good supplemental readings and videos. I think there should be an alternative to getting the certificate as you can set your own pace for the course, there is no guarantee that your final peer graded assignment will be graded within a specific timeframe. Doesn't seem beneficial after the time dedication.
As usual, the main problem with this course is getting someone to actually rate your final assignment so you can "officially" finish it and get your certificate... Still waiting for that to happen. Regarding the course in itself, quite basic. The best module is the 3rd, both in contents and in flow.
