Critical Social Work Practice: Anishinaabe, Structural and Feminist Perspectives

This course enables students to critically analyze social realities and social work knowledge, theories and approaches, with an aim of developing a critical, reflexive, and anti-oppressive approach to social work practice. Theories of power, oppression, and resistance and processes of social change will be examined, with a focus on integrating structural, Anishinaabe and feminist perspectives. These critical approaches will be contrasted with dominant approaches to social work practice. The aim of this course is to equip students to address social injustice and engage in social change processes through social work practice in Indigenous, northern, rural, and remote contexts. Prerequisite: This course is restricted to students admitted into the professional years or permission from the instructor. (SEM/WIL 3) (3 cr)
