SWK 504 - Power, Privilege, and Oppression (3)This course examines the oppression of diverse populations and its effect on multicultural social work practice. The course is intended to increase awareness of multidimensional aspects of race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and socioeconomic status in social work practice with individuals, families, organizations, and communities. This course develops a framework for understanding and respecting culturally diverse populations and serves as the basis for the infusion of cultural diversity throughout the curriculum. The initial premise of the course recognizes that the United States is a multicultural society and asserts that competent social work practice cannot occur without understanding how diversity strengthens and enriches us all. While the course specifically examines the role of oppression in shaping lives of members of specific cultural groups (race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, ability, and socioeconomic status), we as members of the social work profession are committed to dismantling all forms of oppression directed at members of any distinct groups.
