This course applies a multi-theoretical and critical approach to social inquiry in the examination of complex theories, metaperspectives, and knowledge about individuals, families, groups, organizations, institutions and urban, suburban, and rural communities. The course encourages students to maintain a view of people and their environments as heterogeneous and sociohistorically embedded, as well as adaptable and resilient. Throughout the course, special consideration is given to social and cultural diversity. Students will develop a multi-dimensional (e.g., social, psychological and cultural) understanding of human behavior as applied to contemporary issues in social work practice. Class meets two hours in-class and one hour of instructor directed assignments.
