SWK 3243 - Social Welfare Policy


Credits: 3
Introduces social work through the lens of social welfare and justice, and examines public and private institutional frameworks, social welfare policies and programs in the United States, and the historical and contemporary forces - primarily political, social, and economic - that have shaped their development. Through problem-focused analysis of poverty/wealth, health/illness, and social service delivery systems, attention is directed toward professional value commitments, roles of social work in policy formulation and implementation, and the profession’s rich tradition of social action and reform.
