of grade)
Some of feminist social work issues
including group work, policy development,
political advocacy and activism, management
and administration, and community
organizing can be the topic of papers.
In addition, life span issues from
a feminist anti-oppression perspective,
such as work with the elderly, single
mothers, adolescents, can the focus
of paper too. Others such as such
as depression, homelessness, poverty,
imprisonment, alcohol and drug abuse,
infertility, can be illustrated in
your paper with a feminist perspective.
Particular populations such as native
people, immigrants, people with disabilities,
sex-trade workers, psychiatric survivors,
men, lesbian couples, women in prison
etc. can be your interest in final.
Choose one area of interest (population,
life-span issue or problem area) AND
one type of practice (individual,
couple, group, policy development,
political advocacy and activism, management
and administration, or community organizing).
This assignment is designed to help
you:
A) develop an understanding of one
area of interest (population, life-span
issue or problem area) and
B) explore one type of practice from
a feminist perspective (individual,
couple, group, policy development,
political advocacy and activism,
management and administration, or
community organizing).
You are expected to:
C) identify and contrast two different
feminist approaches to this issue,
D) explain what your personal preference
as a social worker would be to dealing
with this area and why.
You may choose an area that we have
already addressed, but your paper
must include at least four readings
that have not been assigned to the
class.
This paper should be approximately
15-20 pgs.
In this assignment, I will be grading
on all the criteria listed above
but will be looking particularly for
your ability to:
1) integrate feminist principles as
they relate to this area of social
work practice
2) understand and analyze the diversity
of feminist theories as they influence
the type of practice chosen
3) articulate an opinion about the
type of theoretical feminist framework
that "fits" your own personal
position
4) develop an understanding in more
depth about a particular facet of
social work practice
Be sure to demonstrate that all aspects
of the assignment (A-D listed above)
have been incorporated in your paper
