Theory into Practice II

3 credits · Undergraduate

Building on the foundational concepts and skills in Theory into Practice I, this course deepens students' ability to apply progressive social work theories in complex and interdisciplinary practice settings. Students critically engage with theories and models such as postmodern, narrative, radical social work, critical race theory, intersectionality, Indigenous knowledge paradigms and theories, decolonial theory, queer and transgender theories, critical (dis)Ability justice, and migration and citizenship regimes. Students examine their implications for practice, policy, and advocacy. Through case analysis, interactive simulations, group skill building activities, and community-engaged learning, students refine their ability to implement critical social work practice applications, navigate ethical dilemmas, and challenge oppressive systems in diverse contexts.
