Social & Ecological Justice is a foundational course in the Human and Organizational Development doctoral program, designed to enable you to develop the competencies you need to recognize and integrate social an ecological justice — at the interpersonal, organizational, societal, and global levels — into your practice and scholarship. Students develop understandings of how social, economic, and ecological justice is defined and expressed in various societies. You will be challenged to analyze these concepts and consider actions that promote more just societies. Importantly, we will pay close attention to power and systemic sources of inequality throughout the semester.

This seminar will acquaint you with the field of organization change and the practice of organization development. Students explore theory and practice relating to change in social systems, including groups, organizations and communities. The focus is on planned, facilitated change to strengthen adaptation, quality of working life, and effectiveness within (and of) organizations. A range of organization change theories will be studied, along with their attendant assumptions, values, processes, practices, and evaluation. Though planned change will be primary focus, the course will also explore unplanned, emergent, and continuous change in organizations. This course is designed to build towards your integration of scholarship and practice. The hope is that you will reflect throughout the seminar on how you as a practitioner act, why it is that you act that way, and how do your actions and choices relate to ideas presented in the course readings.

We live in an unpredictable, deeply divided, rapidly changing social, political, international, environmental, economic, interconnected, technologically uncertain, and AI-centric world. This course is designed to promote in-depth questioning, critical reading and analysis, practice-based methods, and international perspectives on today’s most crucial leadership and followership issues. You are also encouraged to use the latest tools available to strengthen, broaden, and deepen your learning - all while fully adhering to academic integrity and Fielding's academic policies.

Leadership for Social and Ecological Sustainability (LeSES) is an elective course that connects concepts of social and ecological sustainability with those of organizational culture. It focuses on the systemic interrelations between such organizational capabilities as leadership, organizational culture, organizational change, and sustainability strategies. The focus of the knowledge area will be to integrate theoretical and practical understandings of organization strategy, leadership, and their implementation, emphasizing the importance of inclusive leadership. It will rely heavily on case studies to illustrate successes, failures, and the understanding that results from both. This knowledge area is addressed to those seeking to engage with the organizational implementation of the knowledge and practice of social and ecological sustainability.
