This seminar provides a foundation and overview for students interested in understanding the intersection between social work and economics. The readings bring together economic theory and scholarship as they relate to contemporary social work and social welfare issues. Topics, chosen to illustrate the intersection of the two fields and to bring together faculty from both schools, may include poverty, education, and health care. Beyond the joint Eonomics/Social Work students, the course is expected to attract joint Social Work/social science students from other disciplines, as well as graduate students in economics, political science, sociology, psychology, and other fields. The course will include activities such as guest speakers, works in-progress discussions, readings, and presentations.
