Description:

SW 303. Human Diversity and Social Work Practice. 3(3,0) In this course, students will examine cultural and social diversity with an emphasis on population at risk who are oppressed due to race, color, gender, age, physical, and/or mental ability, sexual orientation, religion or poverty status. This course is intended not to make students "experts" in diversity, but rather, learners about the broad similarities and differences among diverse populations and cultures. The cognitive and sensitivity focus of the course will help students address concepts of individuality, equality and power as ways of helping them clarify attitudes and values as they deal with client systems. Students will study the nature of ethnocentrism and other "isms" and the calls for action designed to improve the likelihood of social and economic justice. Taken concurrently with SW302, SW304 and SW305. Prerequisites: SW301, Biological Science 152, Biological Science 153 and SW301. (F)
