SWO 706 Theories to Advance Practice

This course is designed to deepen students’ understanding of theories that advance practice using Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Power Analysis, and Anti-Racist lenses. Conceptual frameworks including social justice, intersectionality and anti-racism are placed within an ecological perspective to understand the relevance of interactions, dynamics and consequences of structural bias and discrimination. Students explore the supporting science of historical and intergenerational trauma.
