EDD824 Leadership in Literature (3 cr.)

Prerequisite(s): EDD809 , EDD802 EDD820  
This course examines ways in which significant works of literature explore, reflect, and shape major themes and theories of leadership style and behaviors. Literature both develops society’s views, through its widespread influence, and reflects the prevailing attitudes. By studying how leadership is exemplified within works that have been widely read, students examine how concepts of leadership have existed and changed over time, and critically assess some of the cultural underpinnings of leadership models.

Upon completion of this course, students are expected to be able to do the following:

  1. Critically read and engage literary texts as cultural artifacts.
  2. Engage in debate over the types of leaders and leadership models demonstrated within the texts, integrating into their discussion established leadership theories.
  3. Analyze the ethical struggles and dilemmas faced by characters within the texts, integrating the ethical frameworks they have previously studied into the current discussion.
  4. Assess the role of rhetoric as a tool in leadership.
  5. Analyze the cultural components of leadership models as reflected in the texts.
  6. Compare, synthesize, and create new models based on models from the texts.
  7. Create documents which adhere to APA format and ethical methods of using sources.
