FEA260 Leadership and Gender aims to introduce and assist students in understanding the importance of gender when doing business. Whether you work in Sweden or the international context, understanding the role of gender in leadership is essential. The course provides theoretical and practical knowledge of leadership from a gender perspective. The main goal of the course is to give students the possibility to understand why gender issues are important for organizations, leadership, the individual, and society.
The grading of the course is based on five assessment tasks:
1. Warm-up seminar – hybrid (individual and team) assignment
2. Case seminar – team assignment
3. Chapter and Article Analysis – team assignment
4. Reflection paper – hybrid (individual and team) assignment
5. Home examination – individual assignment
Note: Detailed information about these tasks is available in the Course Guidelines that you will find in Canvas.
Communication
FEA260 Leadership and Gender is a Campus course. All information dissemination will be done through Canvas, the university’s web-based learning management system. Thus, you are expected to be registered and familiarized with our course in Canvas before the first meeting.
The course employs a blended learning style of education. This means that WE blend online and digital learning components with in-class activities. It implies that you will have diverse learning activities throughout the course. The course will be delivered in English, including oral presentations, discussions, and written materials.
I am looking forward to meeting you on the Course Introduction on September 1 at 09:00 in room 31:329.
