SCWK 502 - Dynamics of Diversity and Oppression

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: Matriculation in MSW program; may be taken concurrently with SCWK 500
This course introduces students to the concepts of diversity and oppression in our society as a foundation for the later infusion of these concepts throughout the MSW curriculum. Students will explore the dynamics of diversity, power differences and oppression as part of an examination of systems of privilege and disadvantage based on race, gender, age, sexual orientation, (dis)ability, class and economic status, religion and other forms of social differentiation and stratification. Offered once annually.
