GCOUP 8001 Doctoral Seminar: Transformative Leadership I
This yearlong seminar focuses on the articulation and refinement of students’ academic and professional leadership goals. Students engage in an iterative self-reflexive process individually and collectively to promote critical consciousness regarding their positionality as leaders at the intersection of power and oppression with an emphasis on social justice. The course is grounded in community and liberation psychology, transformative leadership, and narrative identity. Students attend synchronous weekend meetings and complete asynchronous assignments throughout the academic year.
