SOCW 503 - Culture, Diversity and Human Rights


3 Credits
This course is designed to help Social Work students to work effectively with clients from diverse backgrounds. Culturally responsive practice emerges from self-awareness, relevant and nuanced understanding of the life context and culturally influenced values and norms of the client and knowledge of systems of oppression and privilege that impact on fundamental human rights. Students develop skills to support honest self-reflection to minimize the effects of personal bias on the helping relationship as well as developing an understanding of other cultures and identities.
