Details & Instructions:

This assignment counts for 20% of the total course grade. You must complete both parts of the

assignment, detailed on the following pages. Remember:

You may consult your notes from course lectures.

You may consult assigned texts from the course.

NO outside, unassigned resources may be used for this assignment. That includes

encyclopedias, websites, videos, and LLMs or artificial intelligence of any kind.

PART I: Interview

Interview two different people who work in two different organizations. Ask the following questions, and

add 2 questions of your own—either follow-up questions to your interviewees’ answers, or your own

questions focused on diversity and inclusion in organizations. Transcribe the interview to include in your

assignment document, including all questions and answers. You may summarize your interviewees’

responses from notes you’ve taken, or you may use a transcription tool (e.g., on Zoom)—but if you do the

latter, you must edit it to make sure there are not transcription errors.

Questions:

Does your organization provide any training on diversity and inclusion? If so, describe the

training. Do you find it to be effective? If not, how do you think it could be improved?

Besides trainings, have you taken any part in diversity and inclusion initiatives (e.g., committees,

etc.)? If so, describe your experience. If not, why not?

In your organization, do you think there are any specific barriers or challenges to achieving

diversity and inclusion? Are there any minority communities in particular (e.g., women, people of

color, disabled people, neurodivergent people, LGBTQIA+ people, etc.) which are either not

represented within the organization, or not fully included in the organizational culture in some

way?

Do you use AI in your job? Do you think AI is good or bad for diversity or inclusion? Why?

PART II: Analysis

Once you’ve completed both interviews and reviewed both interviewees’ responses, reflect on the

interviews in light of what the course has covered so far. Do you see any of the behaviors or approaches

we’ve considered in their answers? Do you see room for improvement within the interviewees’

organizations? Have you learned anything new, including any new or different approaches to diversity

and inclusion, from these interviews?

Write a 400–500 word analysis that considers these questions. Use specific examples from each interview

to back up your analysis.
