Description
SWK 702 Social Work with Immigrants Three Credit Hours
This course will focus on past, present and future immigration policy in the U.S. In addition, such factors as Race, Culture, Acculturation Level, Language use, and Racism will be explored. Such issues as an immigrant?s loss of cultural identity and language will also be discussed. The migration process for most immigrants is always a difficult process. Immigrants who arrive to the U. S. in search of better educational/job opportunities often have to leave loved ones, behind and often lose social support networks that are vital for survival. How does the host culture treat the new native culture in relation to sharing the American dream? Such topics as The Dream Act, Deportations, Acculturation Stressors and Cultural Humility Models/Assessment will be discussed. How can we as social workers help to promote an Immigration Policy that is both fair and inclusive
