India
International Social Work Program
Social work models practiced in the United States are embedded in U.S. culture and social constructions. Many international societies do not share these social constructions. For today's social worker, practicing abroad or in the U.S. with immigrant or refugee populations, an international lens is needed to be an effective practitioner. The course integrates the influence of cultural understandings and the impact of those forces on individuals, families, organizations, the community and the wider societal context.
Please note: This is a Greater Rochester Collaborative MSW Program (SWK 450/650) International Social Work course.
