SOCWK 681 - Poverty Migration & Human Rights


1.5 credit(s)
Provides the conceptual and practical foundation for social workers to identify a multi-dimensional human rights approach to addressing issues of transnational Latin poverty and migration. We will explore global and national structures and how this contributes to the construction and reproduction of inequality. Through studying the experience of migration with a focus on the social construction of illegality, second-class citizenship, and identity formation, students will gain an understanding of historical processes of Latin American diaspora and the challenge for diverse groups of Latinos to adjust, integrate, resist, and adapt to the many forces that affect their lives in the United States.
