SW 6120 - Diversity and Social Justice

Institution:

Southern Utah University

Subject:

Social Work

Description:

This course emphasizes the social work profession's commitment to cultural humility; anti-oppressive practice; diversity, equity, and inclusion; and the advancement of social, economic, and environmental justice. It explores how intersectionality-including factors such as age, social class, culture, disability and ability, ethnicity, gender identity and expression, immigration status, nationality, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and tribal sovereign status-influences experiences of power, privilege, and marginalization. Students learn to practice social work reflexively and in alignment with anti-oppressive principles, including challenging dominant norms and worldviews that contribute to marginalization. The course also requires substantial self-reflection to help students understand their own social positions and how these shape their work as practitioners.
