SW 6320 - Social Work Practice with Diverse Populations

Institution:

Utah Valley University

Subject:

Social Work

Description:

Prerequisite(s): SW 6000. Emphasizes the social work profession's commitment to cultural humility, anti-oppression, diversity, equity, and inclusion, and advancing social, economic, and environmental justice. Explores how intersectionality (including, but not limited to age, social class, culture, disability and ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, immigration status, nationality, religion, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, and tribal sovereign status) determines experiences of power, privilege, and marginalization and shapes people's life experiences. Prepares students to practice social work reflexively in congruence with principles of anti-oppressive practice and to challenge dominant norms and world views that work to marginalize persons. Requires significant self-reflection to understand one's unique positionality as a social work practitioner.
