SWK 3043 - Social Justice and Advocacy

Credits: 3
Examines social work values that call us to action to challenge injustice - poverty, unemployment, mass discrimination, racism, sexism, ageism, etc. And introduces students to the interconnected threads of oppression and privilege, examining social conditions influencing people through review of belief systems, thinking processes, developmental and situational issues, and framing the “isms” of American culture. Course content is rooted in historical patterning and events, aiming to increase knowledge of diversity, contemporary social-economic-environmental justice issues, and developing tools for advocacy and change. This course also shapes the context for social work engagement and advocacy to address discrimination, oppression, and social-economic-environmental injustices.
