SW 1002 - Advocacy: Social Justice and De-colonizing Approaches

This doctoral-level course will introduce students to advocacy and social justice with the concepts and skills needed to practice integrative social work as a de-colonial praxis. This course requires a shift to a community, national, and global perspective on health and disease through the awareness of the colonization and decolonization processes. Students in this class will be prepared to lead agencies and projects impacting Indigenous communities by examining how the decolonizing approaches enhance and support their autochthony and sovereignty (self-determination). In addition, this course will enhance research in community and wider-focused intervention strategies, the development of community coalitions, community-based problem-solving, and community health intervention strategies/approaches. 3 credit(s)
