Students will read and analyze case studies displaying leadership actions as well as the scholarly literature on leadership and the personal narratives of selected leaders. Consistent with the social justice focus of the higher education program, this course will especially consider the idea that leadership as a “gendered” construct and discuss the consequences on both cisgendered, trans*, and self-identified women.
