Theory for Social Work Practice I

assumption of this course is that social work as a profession needs
to be self-critical in order to guard against continuing and increasing
oppression experienced by members of various groups as they access social

analysis of social welfare, social services and social work practice
(primarily in the Canadian context) will be a central focus in the course.
The
perspectives of neo-conservatism, liberalism, social democracy and Marxism
will be presented and analyzed for how each defines social issues, social
welfare responses and social work approaches. Alternative paradigms
will also be offered for students to consider. An emphasis is placed
on structural social work theory and practice as a framework for social
work practice within and outside governmental agencies, however, some
additional anti-oppressive practices are introduced. This course is
to be taken prior to, or concurrently with Field Instruction 1. Available
to BSW students only. 6 credit hours.

of the contract, focussing on awareness of beginning values, biases,
attitudes, and ideas in entering the field. Two days per week. 3 credit
hours. Available to third-year B.S.W. students only.

assumption of this course is that social work as a profession needs

analysis of social welfare, social services and social work practice

perspectives of neo-conservatism, liberalism, social democracy and Marxism
will be presented and analyzed for how each defines social issues, social
welfare responses and social work approaches. Alternative paradigms
