SWRK 2020 - Cultural Diversity

3 credit(s)

This course will introduce the knowledge for social work practice with disadvantaged, disparaged, and oppressed groups and will aid the practitioner in the development of a philosophy that people must be treated with dignity and respect regardless of situational forces. Power, prestige, discrimination, oppression, civil rights, historical and legal heritage, and contemporary events are central course components. Opportunities are provided for examining personal values and beliefs and their impact on interactions with minority groups (race, class, gender, ethnicity, and affectional orientation). S. (T)
