Anti-racist and Just Practice in Social Work

Catalog description

An examination of the history and contemporary forms of racism including social work’s role in racist and unjust practices will lead to understanding how they contribute to social, racial, economic, and environmental injustices. The impacts of oppression and racism on individuals, families, groups, communities, and organizations are identified and critically examined throughout the course. Reflection and awareness of one’s own biases are embedded throughout this course and contribute to the development of an anti-racist and anti-oppressive framework for social work practice.
