The NSCI0016 Literature Project involves the creation of a logical, comprehensive, comprehensible, and correct account of the background to the field of your research project. A dissertation of about 2000-3000 words is required and should include a survey of published work related to the topic selected. It should also contain a description of the objectives and the roadmap of your research project (e.g. Gantt chart, potential experimental/modelling procedures) in the light of this published work. Your first source of guidance on writing your literature report will be your academic project supervisor.

Across the globe, organisations are increasingly staffed by employees who differ on numerous dimensions of identity (e.g., gender, nationality, age, core beliefs, etc.). Research shows that this diversity can either be an organisation's greatest asset, or if managed poorly, it's greatest liability. This course dives deep into the science of how diversity shapes thinking and behaviour in organisations, and provides tools and strategies for managers and leaders to use to make the most of interpersonal differences among their employees. Students will learn how to develop and maintain diverse, equitable, and inclusive practices and processes in their organisations. Topics include: understanding the link between diversity and innovation; identifying the individual-level and organisational-level factors that lead to bias and create barriers/obstacles to diversity in organisations; learning how to effectively manage diversity in teams; understanding research-grounded insights into solutions for fostering diverse and inclusive workplaces.
