This foundational course introduces students to progressive social work theories and their practical applications in diverse practice settings. Emphasizing critical social work and social justice for systems change, students explore key theoretical frameworks such as critical race theory, intersectionality, structural and post-structural social work, Indigenous knowledge paradigms and theories, feminist theory, queer and transgender theories, (dis)Ability theories, and political economy. Theories of human development are contextualized through these lenses.
