Diversity

Catalog description

Human diversity is thoroughly examined, and students gain a better understanding of how to work with diverse populations. The course explores how structures and values may oppress, marginalize, alienate, or enhance power and privilege. Self- awareness to eliminate personal bias is examined. The course draws from a range of disciplines and theories, such as the strengths perspective, the person-in-the-environment concept, theories of intersectionality, critical race theory, and social constructionism.
