Description:

Students are introduced to the foundations of social work and how the profession’s core values are applied in practice at the macro, messo and micro level. They further conceptualize anti-oppressive, structural and feminist approaches and Indigenous theories to address power and privilege, inequality, discrimination and intersectionality. The social work process is developed including a holistic or bio-psychosocial approach and cultural competence. Practice in northern, rural and remote communities is also examined.
