SW 325 Power, Oppression, and Critical Consciousness

Drawing on critical theory and practice perspectives, this course examines how social forces operate to marginalize non-dominant groups and introduces methods for dismantling oppressive systems.  Students will engage models for liberation and anti-oppressive practice across interpersonal, institutional, and societal levels.  Special emphasis will be placed on addressing white supremacy, heterosexism/cis-sexism, ableism, and their intersections.
