A Future Direction for Integrating Workforce Diversity across the Curriculum

Abstract

The current chapter provides details on integrating cultural diversity in the curriculum. Specifically, the authors discuss a new course whose aim is to prepare students to successfully work in the field of global strategic communication. The course is designed to help students gain an understanding of politics, economy, media, culture and diversity worldwide and constitutes a transformative approach to curriculum internationalization while revolving around interdisciplinarity in co-teaching and research. The authors discuss the design of the course as well as the literature they consulted for its development, namely past research on interdisciplinary research, co-teaching, and curriculum internationalization. The details provided in this chapter can help academics to replicate this approach in order to foster global engagement at their institutions.
