SOWK 5520 Community and Organizational Change
This course is a macro methods course grounded in the generalist model of macro social work practice. Students examine perspectives and structures of community and organizations, focusing on oppression, discrimination, poverty, marginalization, alienation, factors of diversity and difference as well as sources of privilege and power as they impact social well-being. The application of planned change processes at the community and organizational levels in response to changing contexts and needs to promote social and economic justice, and to advance the equitable distribution of basic human rights and resources is emphasized.
