This course is designed to assist social work students with understanding the concepts of power, privilege, oppression, and social justice in their work with historically marginalized and oppressed populations.
Outcomes: Analyze how personal identities, values, and biases influence professional behavior, and apply ethical principles and cultural humility to evaluate practice within diverse and oppressive systems; Evaluate how systems of power, privilege, and oppression shape human rights and opportunities, and create strategies to advance social, economic, and environmental justice through advocacy and allyship at the micro, mezzo, and macro levels; Synthesize theoretical frameworks (critical race theory, intersectionality, anti-oppressive and strengths-based practice) to design and apply culturally responsive, collaborative interventions that promote empowerment and systemic change.
