This course introduces students to social work through an embodied teaching approach. Students will explore the subject matter through the perspectives of knowing, being, and doing and examine various theoretical perspectives supporting social work. Throughout the curriculum, students will reflect on how these perspectives can help promote social justice for marginalised individuals, families, and communities. Furthermore, students will critically reflect on their values and ethics and how they align with those of the social work profession. Finally, the course will provide opportunities for students to practice core social work skills in simulated real-life scenarios.
