SWK 623 - Race and Ethnicity in U.S. Social Policy 3 Credit Hours
Conceptions of race and ethnicity have played a pivotal role in American political discourse and in the formation of social policy. Through the use of social science literature on group identity formation, race, ethnicity, and immigration as well as fiction, film, and autobiographical accounts, this course exams social constructions of race and ethnicity and the intersections with gender, citizenship, and class as an analytical tool for understanding the development and implementation of social policies. This course will address policy issues such as the role of privatization, affirmative action, immigration, etc. and their impact on communities of color. Contemporary questions and challenges raised by an increasingly multicultural society for social policy and practice are explored.
Prerequisite(s): SWK 513 and SWK 553
