HWC 345 - Social Work and Human Rights
The goals of social work are intertwined with the premise that the realization of universal human rights are essential to a just and ordered society. This class stresses the need for social workers to use a human rights framework for practice, especially in our interconnected global economy. Social workers can be vital to envisioning a just and equitable world and can be the architects laying the groundwork of that world’s creation. Human rights can help link micro practice to macro practice and connect the varying roles of the social worker. This course will examine human rights, social work as a human rights profession, and in particular, vulnerable populations. This class will highlight timely issues such as human trafficking and environmental justice.
