Gender and Diversity in the Workplace: Learning Activities and Exercises

By Gary N. Powell

Recipient of the University of Connecticut Award for Promoting Multiculturalism and Affirmative Action Designed to be used on its own, in conjunction with Women and Men in Management, Second Edition, or with other books on gender and diversity, Gender and Diversity in the Workplace includes a wide variety of exercises appropriate for college students and work organizations with developmental programs for managers, administrators, and other employees. The exercises--including individual, group, and class activities; diagnostic instruments; role plays; case studies; and simulations--help students and workers gain an understanding of how gender and diversity issues may be dealt with in a manner that preserves the integrity and takes advantage of the potential contributions of all members of the workforce. A separate instructor′s manual is available that provides guidance on how to run the various exercises, including how they may be adapted for special purposes. Providing a unique set of instructional materials, Gender and Diversity in the Workplace is a must for scholars and graduate and undergraduate students in management and organization studies, gender studies, sociology, family studies, and communication. Professionals in such fields as health care, social services, government, and education will also find they cannot do without Gender and Diversity in the Workplace.

Message from the author

Hi, everyone. I am the author of this book. I apologize to those of you who have had trouble in getting the instructor's manual; the publisher ran out of hard copies a while ago and did not print any more. Just send me an e-mail at Gary.Powell@business.uconn.edu and I will send it to you electronically. Better yet, you may want to wait for the second edition I am now preparing, tentatively titled "Managing a Diverse Workforce: Learning Activities." It is due out in the late summer of 2004. The new instructor's manual should be available as a pdf file, which will make it easier for you to get. Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to having the new edition available to you soon. Best wishes, Gary Powell
