Leadership is a concept that has various definitions that are often informed by many different perspectives. The Office of Student Leadership Programs and the Department of Sociology, Anthropology, and Social Work will be hosting a Combined Leadership Course Session featuring guest faculty member Dr. John Dugan from Loyola University Chicago. By offering a combined course session, we hope to offer faculty and students an opportunity to create exciting combinations and considerations of leadership development that may be unavailable in a single course. Dr. Dugan will focus on deepening the understanding of leadership development particularly through the infusion of perspectives derived from critical social theory. His application of critical perspectives to the study of leadership allows for the disruption of dominant assumptions, the centering of diverse voices and perspectives, and the cultivation of critical consciousness, agency, and hope. All of this is in service of deconstructing and reconstructing systems in more equitable and socially just ways.
