Issues in Global Social Work Practice

SW648

Course Description

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.
