Leadership in Public Sphere

Course Description

Why is it necessary to have public leadership? What are the motivations behind it? To what ends is leadership oriented? Today’s world is in a transition from traditional male, white, northern leadership visions, to more diverse, feminine, and decolonized leadership approaches which are still unfolding, while coexisting with phenomena such as populism, patriarchalism and corruption. The intent of this course is to contrast these realities. The objective of this course is to explore the nature of public sphere leadership in various dimensions, to contribute to the student's growth in understanding of contemporary public leadership, and to provide conceptual and practical tools for understanding it, connecting with it, or exercising it.
