Build a conceptual foundation in social work practice
Before diving into casework or interventions, this course establishes the intellectual framework social workers operate within. You'll engage with key concepts—power, privilege, oppression, intersectionality—that inform every professional decision. The course covers major theories and perspectives, then maps how practice actually works at different scales: individual (micro), community (mezzo), and systemic (macro).
Valuable groundwork for anyone entering the field, or for allies in adjacent disciplines seeking to understand social work's distinctive approach and values.
