SWK 614 - Family Centered Policy Global Continued

3 Credit Hours
This course explores public policy in a global context with regard to global social problems, and the affect on families and family systems, defined in the broadest sense. Using a human rights framework this course explores conceptual frameworks that can be used to identify and understand some of the influences of globalization on public policy needs and choices. Specifically this course addresses how these policies affect transnational families and other families of diverse structures, socio-economic statuses, political ideologies and racial and ethnic backgrounds, and their impact on global social problems such as enduring and absolute poverty, food insecurity, human rights violations against vulnerable populations, and civil conflict, with a particular focus on developing and least developed nation states.
