HWC 310 - Policy Practice: The Politics & Economics of Human Rights and Social Welfare
This course introduces students to the human rights perspective of social work. It provides an understanding of social justice issues faced by the social work profession and the intersectionality of national and international political and economic factors that influence and impact social change. By familiarizing students with these factors and exploring their relationship with phenomena such as poverty, racism, and sexism in the United States and the interconnected global economy, the course seeks to provide students with knowledge and skills used in human rights advocacy and policy practice. The material presented in this course will be further developed in subsequent courses as a means of analyzing social welfare problems, policies, and programs.
