SWP 515 - Perspectives on Social, Racial, Economic, and Environmental Justice

This course will introduce MSW students to human rights and social justice perspectives to examine the shifting landscape of diversity, oppression, power, and privilege. The fundamental goal of the course is for students to develop critical consciousness to gain competencies in anti-racist, and anti-oppressive social work and gain insight into privilege and oppression. An understanding of these concepts, integrated with an understanding of oneself within these systems, is essential for social work practice.
