The Advanced Global Topics in Social Work course is taught by various members of the program faculty and is typically offered during the winter semester. Each version of the course has its own subtitle, some being offered one time only while others may be repeated. Advanced Global Topics in Social Work courses provide an in-depth focus on a global social work issue, such as migration, displacement, poverty, climate change, indigeneity, etc. Additionally, students in the Advanced Global Topics in Social Work course have the opportunity to apply for the Faculty-Led Global Course Extension (GCE) course that includes a 2-4 week trip to a pertinent international location that will allow students to further engage and explore the themes and topics introduced in the on-campus course.
Topic Description: Global Art-Centered Social Justice Practice and Self-Healing is founded on the idea that all human beings can engage in art practices - music, theater, sculptures, painting, photography, etc. Art practices, which are expressed differently across the globe, can be inspiration, methods, and practices to advance self-healing and social justice. Students will learn content on interprofessional (e.g., art therapy), community (e.g., advocacy), and global (e.g., theater of 2 oppressed) practices. Students will explore artistic creation for self-healing while examining critical theories of race, gender, sexuality, ableism, and cultural identity. Students will engage with art practices as a means of self-reflection (self-healing) and to advocate for myriad inequities.
