SOCW 445 - Globalization of Social Welfare

(3 S.H.)

This course challenges the dominant paradigms that shape our increasingly small world. Examines the social consequences of international economic development and trade policies in social welfare and practice, and what can be done to prevent the erosion of the quality of life in our communities as a result of economic globalization. The course presents alternative paradigms for international and community economic development and suggests some of the roles for social work professionals as facilitators and partners in projects and processes of community empowerment across the globe. This course meets the University Studies unity and diversity global perspectives requirement. Prerequisite: ◎ SOCW 340 - Introduction to Social Work and Social Welfare. Grade Only. Offered annually in Winona campus.
