Advanced Social Work Practice Across Systems

Catalog description

This is a practice course designed to introduce students to social work practice from non-Western traditions (e.g., African-Centered Practice, global perspectives, etc). Practice skills, methods and techniques from other countries, cultures and traditions will be explored and practiced in virtual role plays, case scenarios and through the immersion experience attached to the course. Non-Western traditional values that undergird practice approaches will be examined, applied, and compared to those learned in previous course work. The course will emphasize a strengths perspective to empower vulnerable persons, groups and communities to address their needs. Students will complete an immersion experience at the end of this course.
