From social work's macro perspective, students will study how social and economic injustice impacts human development in urban, inner city communities. Co-learners will question selected assumptions, stereotypes, and images of oppressed communities in relation to the values, ethics and mission of social work practice. The implications and ramifications of poverty, unemployment, homelessness, and dysfunctional schools systems will be studied as well as issues of race, class and socio-economic changes that have impacted human development in inner city communities.
