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.
Course Topic
Community Conflict Transformation, Peacebuilding & Social Change
Only incoming MSW students enroll in this mini course. Mini-course Description: This mini course will explore both the philosophy and practice involved in the transformation of conflict from individual apprehension to social opportunity. We will trace our own relationship to conflict, understand patterns of conflict engagement, uncover the role of unconscious bias, and seek to reframe conflict as a normal and essential part of social change and transformation.
