In this part I will look at how I have become interested in issues of diversity. As part of this presentation I will provide a brief lecture to frame the study of diversity within a wider historical perspective. Specifically, to make connections between managerial interest on diversity, the need to obtain a socially just workplace and the civil rights movement. This questionnaire measures attitudes toward diversity. Once participants have filled the questionnaire they will tally their answer.
Participants return questionnaire to the facilitator.
A second questionnaire along with a short case is provided to participants. The second questionnaire, titled 'Who am I', has the purpose to make people aware of their particular location in terms of age, race, gender, social class, physical capacity, religious believes, and sexual orientation. All participants read a case on diversity issues and answer a set of short questions. After receiving the first questionnaire back and while participants answer the case, the facilitator divides participants according to score. If possible an even number of groups will be formed.
