/FSW 542. Family Resource Management: Education and Advocacy

Catalog description

In this course students will engage in critical analysis while exploring individual- and family-level goal setting and decision-making with regard to the identification, development, acquisition, and allocation of resources (e.g., time, energy, friends, neighbors, natural environment, money, material assets, and space). The processes by which families manage their resources are complex and often influenced by many factors including relationships with current and past family members; the political, economic, and social environment; interactions with available resources in their community; and patterns of interaction within and between family members and others outside the family. This course will also discuss advocacy strategies for promoting environmental and economic justice. Prerequisite: FSW 261 or FSW 225 or TCE 225 or FSW 242.
