SWK 622 - Negotiating Social, Cultural and Psychological Borders

3 hours
Historically a multi-ethnic and multi-racial country, the United States is becoming increasingly diverse as a consequence of global immigration. Students will learn demographic trends related to immigration and address the experience of immigrant groups by understanding how the reception by the host society, racialization, class, gender, and characteristics of the ethnic community impact the adaptation of immigrant/refugee groups. Grounded in this contextual understanding, students address specific issues for immigrant and refugee families such as inter-generational issues, language and cultural maintenance, family separations, and histories of trauma and political torture.

Prerequisite(s): Prerequisite: SWK 513 and SWK 553
