Generalist Practice with Organizations & Communities

Best practices for implementing social action into my teaching pedagogy.

Students will develop competencies in advanced generalist practice with organizations and communities, with an emphasis on how social workers engage, assess, plan, implement, and evaluate change at the macro level. Students will examine the historical roots of social work in macro practice and the social gospel. Students will deepen their understanding of the profession’s ethical commitments to economic, social, and environmental justice and to anti-oppressive models of trauma-informed community practice that build off individual strengths and community assets.
