Org Leadership, Policy & Dev (OLPD) Courses

Academic Unit: Org Leadership, Policy & Dev

OLPD 1303 - Leadership in the Organizational Context

(3 cr; A-F only; offered Every Fall, Spring & Summer)

Life - like leadership - is full of paradoxes. We are all individuals. At the same time, we are all part of families, communities, institutions, structures, and systems. To understand and practice effective leadership, we must make sense of our lives - including our unique identities and experiences - within these broader organizational and societal contexts. We must think critically about how power flows through society, and how it shapes agency, opportunities and wellbeing for individuals and communities. And we must think creatively and critically about how leadership can help promote equity, justice, and human flourishing. In this course, we focus on organizations as a core context for leadership. Organizations are everywhere - some formal, some informal. For example, we are all part of an educational organization: the University of Minnesota. We all interact with governmental organizations at national, state, and local levels. We may belong to community, religious, or cultural organizations. We might work - now or in the future - for a corporation, a nonprofit, or a cooperative. We may belong to an advocacy organization that works for social change. To study leadership within these various types of organizations, we must also turn inward to examine our own identities, social locations, and experiences. We draw on concepts and theories - from the fields of leadership development, organizational studies, sociology, and psychology - to analyze our lived experiences within broader contexts, and better understand the behaviors of individuals and groups within organizations. This course will require active engagement with course materials, your classmates, and class projects. Our class sessions will include group activities, student-driven discussions, and the occasional mini-lecture. We will explore case studies and individual narratives as touchstones for applying theory to real world contexts. Over the semester, you will complete both individual an

OLPD 5122 - Indigenous Education: Research, Policy, and Practice

(3 cr; Student Option; offered Periodic Fall, Spring & Summer)

This course examines the relationship between Indigenous communities (broadly defined and in relation with more than humans), cultural practices, knowledges, and in and out-of-school education. We pay particular attention to local Indigenous educational experiences and in broader global contexts, which are examined using chronological (histories/time), thematic (topical yet interconnected ideas), and vital approaches (issues requiring urgent attention and their interventions), including analysis of trajectories of Indigenous education, the expansion of mass schooling, education/language ideologies and policies, and resistance, innovation, and Indigenous-driven resurgence through educational design. The course assumes Indigenous education as part of an array of anti- and decolonial strategies for Indigenous self-determination that is inextricable from good human-earth relations; thus, as a class, we take a holistic and connective approach towards understanding education as part of Indigenous knowledge systems. The course also assumes diverse forms and definitions of education and epistemologies (the study of knowledge/how we know what we know) proposed by Indigenous and critical scholars. We therefore examine a) the formal schooling of Indigenous children historically designed by non-Indigenous groups, b) education as ancestral birthright/Indigenous socialization and nature-mediated (Kawagley, 2006), and c) education as advancing Indigenous sovereign pedagogies (Goodyear-Ka??pua, 2013). Further, the course expands understanding of the links and disruptions between different educational practices, in and out-of-school and across diverse geographies, communities, and ideas and practices of peoplehood?from U.S. American Indian and Alaska Native communities to Indigenous communities in the highland Andes to Pacific Island Nations and beyond. Central to student work in this course is learning how Indigenous communities shape learning experiences according to place rela

Module 1 begins with an overview of some of the primary sources of oppression in the West and the Global South. Here, we cover material on varying epistemologies, the nature of bias, critical self-reflection, and schools, space, and identity. In Module 2, we will examine how these oppressive practices and systems exist in the modern era. We look then at how they enter institutions and how they are reproduced. This includes an examination of various types of bigotry and discrimination in school. In Module 3, we begin to look at how these histories and complex, dynamic systems of power, privilege, and oppression enter and express in schools and communities. We move from the individual to the collective as we explore the many divides between school and community people and perspectives. In Modules 4 and 5, we finally look at emancipatory, liberatory, and culturally responsive models of schooling. In this last part of the course, we look at how community-based and indigenous knowledge can be used to inform schooling. Here, we dig deep into culturally responsive leadership practice, spending time unpacking 4 major strands of culturally responsive school leadership. We look at how curriculum, instructional leadership, PDs, and other resources are structured to improve equity in a building. We take up the community-based approaches to education.
