Course Description

SW 528 UNDERSTANDING DIVERSITY IN SW PRACTICE   3.0 Credit(s)
This course examines human diversity through an intersectional lens, grounded in an explicitly anti-racist, anti-oppressive social work framework. Students critically analyze how power, privilege, and oppression - particularly racism and other structural forces - operate across individual, institutional, and systemic levels, with attention to their impact on lived experience and access to resources. MSW students are prepared to engage in ethical, justice-oriented practice by developing foundational competencies in advocacy, empowerment, and anti-oppressive assessment and intervention across micro, mezzo, and macro contexts.
