SW 2050 - UNDERSTANDING HUMAN DIVERSITY AND POPULATIONS AT RISK

3 Credit Hour(s)
The primary purpose of this course is to prepare students to work with populations they will encounter in their professional career. The populations social workers must be trained to work with represent the broadest spectrum of humanity - in ethnicity, culture, race, religion, worldview, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and in life experiences. Attention is given to understanding mechanisms of oppression, theoretical foundations, cultural identity development, and antiracist practice. The course is designed to encourage both knowledge building and self-exploration-skills that are essential in developing multicultural social work practice.

Offered: Fall, Spring
