EMGT 6618 - Diversity in Emergency Management

This course will describe the dynamics of diversity in U.S. emergency management as they relate to mitigation, planning and preparedness, response, recovery, and jobs in the field itself. Issues of inclusion and bias based on race, economic class, gender, nationality, language, religion, age, and other social categories will be explored. Critical examination of case studies will enable students to reflect and participate in constructive dialogue with others about problems and effective strategies to address inequity compounded by disasters and emergency management. 3 credits.
