This course will engage students in investigating an area of social work practice or population that holds interest to the student and further develops their identity as a social worker. Students are encouraged to analyze issues related to the area that they choose to investigate and use a critical and reflective lens to discuss how these issues might be experienced by individuals, children and families, groups, and communities. Particular attention will be given to the intersection between practice and the capacity of marginalized populations to develop agency in escaping oppressive practices.
