During New Student Orientation, varied social work topics, or themes, will be presented as foundation-level mini-courses inviting students to share, explore, engage, and discover the vast world of social work. This course will emphasize experiential, active, and engaged learning components and operationalize the three SEED goals: 1) Strengthen connection and community at the School of Social Work, 2) Explore PODS (privilege, oppression, diversity, & social justice), and 3) Learn foundation-level social work skills. Each theme will begin by attending a shared welcome experience.
Only incoming MSW students enroll in this mini course. Mini-course Description: This course will examine core concepts and foundation-level skills to promote and protect civil rights and human rights in societies that are simultaneously becoming more segregated and more diverse. It will include content on the roles of social workers, and explore inequalities, power, privilege, prejudice, discrimination, and other forces which affect the struggle for rights among groups and issues - e.g., race, class, gender, religion, age, sexual orientation -- - that are arising in society. Special emphasis will be placed on preparing a new generation of civil rights workers and social change agents in economically disinvested and racially segregated areas.
