Social Work Practice in a Diverse Society
4 credits

Syllabus
Course Description

For purposes of this course, "diverse populations" refers mainly to major ethnic groups; however, other
diverse groups will be discussed. After brief descriptive materials are presented for each population, the
emphasis will be on the development of a knowledge base and skills for working with these populations
at both the direct practice and macro levels. A primary critical skill is the examination of one's own
attitudes and values. Models of practice with diverse populations will be presented for comparative
purposes. Simulations, presentations, and other experiential techniques will be used to implement the
teaching objectives.

Course Rationale

Diversity is no longer a local, regional, or national concern. Through advances in communications

technology, movement of refugees and other displaced persons, political and social turmoil within the
global community, and the increasing unity of economic systems, the need for social workers to increase
their competencies to work within a diverse society is paramount.

Course Objectives

1. To examine one's prejudices, biases, attitudes, actions, and values regarding human diversity.
2. To identify the powerful institutional forms of oppression that create separateness among people,
preclude empowerment, and increase risk in life situations.
3. To understand contemporary life situations of members of diverse populations, including differences
within populations as well as across groups.
4. To examine models of practice in working with diverse populations.
5. To apply practice models in simulated, role -play, or other experiential situations.
6. To critically assess the current level of professional practice with diverse populations.
7. To understand interplays of ethnicity, class and gender.
Content Areas
1. The historical, economic, social, and political bases for group discrimination.
2. Models of human behavior and human diversity.
3. Methods of empowerment.
4. Various realities from the community/field.
5. Contemporary forms of social work practice with members of diverse populations.
6. Comparative approach to models of practice.
7. Experiential learning tasks.

Teaching/Learning Approaches

Active learning with minimal lecture, intense group discussion, and experiential methods will characterize
the teaching/learning process in the class. Simulations and group presentations will be used to enhance
skill development. Films, videos, and guest speakers will also be included in our work.

Three Sample Assignments

1. Sociocultural Autobiography
You are invited to prepare a brief personal essay of no more than four double -spaced typed pages in
which you reflect on your familial and cultural backgrounds, identifying those aspects of your personal
development and historical connections which make you who you are, which shape your thinking,
emotional expressions, values, life perspectives.

Guide for Sociocultural Autobiography

N.B.: These are guidelines, suggested foci, lines of questioning which may be useful to you in
preparing your assignment. These are not meant to be "answered" questions.

Yourself.
Mother Father
Siblings
Grandmother Grandmother
Grandfather Grandfather
a. Describe your family of origin: siblings, birth order, socio-cultural background (class) .
b. How strong an ethnic identity does/did each family member have?
c. What is your first recollection about your ethnicity or class? How did you come to realize you
are African-American, Asian-American, Latina(o), Euro-American, middle class, working class, etc.?
How did you come to identify with your group and to learn that there are "others"?
d. Who lived in your neighborhood? Who was a "desirable" friend to bring home? How did you
select your dates, roommates, mentors?
e. How were aspects such as discipline, sexuality, authority, manners, relationships between
generations dealt with? How were these related to ethnicity or class?
f. Briefly describe your early perceptions of your parents' attitudes and actions toward diverse
people who were defined as outsiders?
g. Briefly describe two early life experiences (one positive and one negative) with a diverse person.
h. How much time, exposure, and/or contact did you have with people who are diverse?
i. What attitudes, perceptions, and actions do you find most difficult to discard when interacting
with diverse populations?

112
j. Briefly discuss your level of flexibility or adaptability to diverse people and diverse
environments.
k. How do any of your tastes in food, music, art, clothes, furnishings, leisure pursuits reflect
ethnicity or class?
l. How influential was "your group" in your educational aspirations, choice of schools, the
definition of work, occupational or professional choices? Optimism vs. pessimism about these
aspirations? "Aggressiveness" in pursuing?
m. What other values, attitudes and actions do you see as unique to your family of origin that you
carry with you and continue to enact? If you have "transcended" the values, attitudes, actions of your
family of origin, what have been the consequences to you? What are the remarkable differences in
values, attitudes, actions between your family of origin and your family of choice?

2. Encounter and Dialogue (Ethnographic Interview)

Choose a population of difference/diversity that you want to explore (it need not be limited to ethnicity,
but could be physical or mental differences, sexual orientation, class differences, etc.). Preparation for
this assignment should include researching and reading articles pertaining to the area of diversity. See
bibliographies for possible selections.
Arrange an interview with a person of your choice, preferably someone unknown to you. The
encounter and dialogue should last at least an hour. Questions need to be carefully considered. First,
focus on personal perspective: how does the person experience his/her "difference"? Examine both the
negatives and the positives. The inquiry should be open-ended enough to elicit the person's own personal
experiences and reactions to those experiences. Be careful not to use leading questions or to make
assumptions. (NB: We will discuss an approach to these dialogues in class before you engage in them.)
During the second part of the interview focus on implications for social work practice, i.e., if this
person were to be in consultation with a social worker, what would s/he expect the social worker to know
in order to be an effective practitioner with this person? How can service delivery networks become more
responsive?
Prepare a narrative of the encounter in which you demonstrate your understanding of the person
interviewed. This narrative should make the person "come alive" to us so that we learn something about
increasing our skills, listening and otherwise. Write the narrative in first person, in this way the impact of
the encounter on you will also be presented. (An example of such an "ethnomethodological" report will
be handed out and discussed.) Class time will be used to share the the dialogues with one another. No
more than five pages, double -spaced, typed.

3. Perspectives/Panel Presentation
You will self-select into five groups. Each group will choose a diverse population. Each group will be
responsible to schedule a panel of 3-5 speakers (with a representation of genders and ages if possible) for
a class presentation per the course outline. Other class colleagues are ineligible to participate as panel
members. The panel presentation should last for 2 hours (1 hour 30 minutes for panel with 30 minutes for
questions and discussions). Each group will prepare a set of questions for its panelist. Please include
questions regarding culturally responsive social services. Give panelist the questions in advance of their
class appearance and to the instructor at the time of the panel. Your group assume responsibility for
facilitating the panel discussion.
To continue the Teaching Each Other Perspective, each group will submit one copy of a
journal article addressing a model of practice with your selected population and write a 1-2 page
summary of the article. Your group will give a presentation after the panelists to incorporate
information from McGoldrick, et. al. by comparing and contrasting the practice model for
you specific diverse population with the journal article.

4: Self-Assessment Essay

113
Active class participation, the papers, and a self-assessment will be the basis for evaluation. You will
be expected to come to class having read the relevant assigned material and to participate in an
informed, if informal, discussion in relation to the required reading, faculty commentary, student
seminar presentations. An approach to self-assessment concludes this syllabus.
Evaluation of Learning
(N.B.: These directions for your end of term self-assessment are included from the start of the quarter
so that you might make some decisions about creating a cumulative method for your assessment; e.g.,
notes on learning, a learning journal, a running narrative, a diary, etc.)
Introduction: Potential learning during this course may occur in the following ways:
1. Study of the major readings
2. Preparation and writing of assigned papers
3. Use of written feedback on completed papers
3. Through the panel presentation and its preparation
4. From class discussions and your engagement with them
5. The products of your own reflective thought.
Evaluative Task: Prepare a brief narrative assessment of:
1.) what you learned about social work practice with diverse populations through each of the
learning structures above that appears to be "new" learning for you
2.) what value this learning has for you as a social worker (i.e., how will you use this new
learning as a practitioner)
3.) what, if anything, you experienced as personal/intellectual change/growth as a result of
your pursuit of knowledge/understanding through this course.
In preparing your assessment, it would probably be helpful not to construe these three
statements as topical headings. Rather, these three statements (questions?) might be thought of
guides to finding a gestalt (a wholeness, a sum of understanding greater than the separate parts) for
yourself.
Length: (because someone will ask!) No more than four double -spaced typed pages, or the
equivalent.

guiding the selection included: topical relevance to this course, potential resources for library research
assignments, intellectual challenge of content, diversity of subject matter. While the titles were chosen for
this course, this is not a comprehensive listing of possibly relevant articles. Page citations are to the
volume; i.e., each volume is numbered separately and consecutively beginning with the first issue of the
