INTRODUCTION TO DIVERSITY
SWP3IDV
2021
Credit points: 15
Subject outline
In this subject students explore and analyse social work practice in a diverse society. Of particular consideration will be how a sense of 'otherness' or 'difference' is created and maintained. Three broad arenas of 'difference' will be featured from amongst the many forms of social and cultural diversity. These arenas are not exclusive but will in this instance be: sexuality, disability, migration and population movements. As social workers are expected to practice within a framework of social and cultural difference, the aim is to introduce and promote in students values and skills for 'difference-competent' practice.
