This course explores the social justice concerns associated with poverty and protections of human rights using a framework of Ethic of Care. Students will learn how to synthesize, integrate, and translate the philosophy, values, ethics, and theory of Caritas as a context for social work practice. They will identify and initiate actions that improve the life conditions of people who are in need. This is a required course (3 credit hours) in the Specialization year for the Master of Social Work degree. Completion of the Foundation year or Advanced Standing is a prerequisite.
