Issues in Global Social Work Practice

This class is for students who will be going abroad at the end of the Winter semester (e.g., students who will be completing a global field placement, global independent study, or Peace Corps service).

This course is designed to help prepare social work students for professional practice during a global social work experience, as well as to help integrate that experience into the broader educational experience at UM-SSW. Students will critically examine the impact of their positionalities, assumptions, values, theories and practice models and begin to develop a practice framework that is ethical, relevant and effective in a global setting.
