Wikipedia:Wiki Ed/Smith School of Business at Queen's University/UNDERSTANDING, LEADING AND MANAGING DIVERSITY (Summer 2022)

__NOINDEX__

The course is designed for Smith professional graduate students who yearn for a deeper understanding of how unconscious or implicit biases, stereotypes, and stereotype threats work to affect managers, decision makers, and individuals who are being stereotyped. The course also explores organizational barriers to inclusion, including high status groups, value threats, reward structures, and groupthink. students will explore the intersections of personality, dimensions of diversity, social location, lived experiences, socio-political context, and the impact of these interactions on team dynamics. For the Wikipedia Assignment, students will get into teams to discuss and develop a new EDI focused page that does not yet exist or is not covered well on Wikipedia. They will research that topic with quality sources, and build up a well-referenced encyclopedia article.

Guiding framework

You probably have some feedback from other students and possibly other Wikipedians. Consider their suggestions, decide whether it makes your work more accurate and complete, and edit your draft to make those changes.

Resources:


 * Editing Wikipedia, pages 12 and 14
 * Reach out to your Wikipedia Expert if you have any questions.

Week 5
Now that you've improved your draft based on others' feedback, it's time to move your work live - to the &quot;mainspace.&quot;

Resource: Editing Wikipedia, page 13

Now's the time to revisit your text and refine your work. You may do more research and find missing information; rewrite the lead section to represent all major points; reorganize the text to communicate the information better; or add images and other media.

Continue to expand and improve your work, and format your article to match Wikipedia's tone and standards. Remember to contact your Wikipedia Expert at any time if you need further help!

It's the final week to develop your article.
