SOCW311 - Understanding Oppression

Description

Examines key concepts such as 'whiteness', 'oppression', 'marginalization', 'difference', 'rank' and 'power' that animate the practice of social work within a difference-centred, social justice framework. Critical theoretical and conceptual insights from frameworks such as Indigenous, feminist, anti-racist, queer and postmodern theories are explored in order to arrive at a nuanced understanding of critical social work.
