SLL307 - Sociology: A Practical Approach

To understand the social determinants of thoughts, feelings, and actions it is necessary to explore the role of social forces, that is, the role of society, social relations, social institutions, and the process of socialization in shaping human psychology and conduct. Since every individual is born into a pre-existing society, it seems reasonable that an introduction to the social sciences begins with a presentation of basic sociological concepts, theories, and principles, and how these may be applied toward an understanding of the individual?s place in the social world.

SSW102 - Anti Oppressive Practice

By relying on an anti-oppression framework, this course will invite students to explore the various forms of individual, cultural and systemic discrimination experienced by diverse groups of people in Canada. This course challenges students to use an integrative anti-oppression framework as well as an access and equity analysis to develop their own reflective practice (AWARENESS). The foundation of this course is in social justice and the ?belief that understanding the systemic contexts of identities and culture and critically examining one?s own social locations in the web of these power relations is of paramount significance for (helping professionals) to engage meaningfully with people of different and multiple identifications? (Wong, 2004).

This course will also ask students to examine their PRACTICE, both personally and professionally.
