| Our educational mission within the Master of Social Work program is to prepare social workers skilled in critical self-reflection and with an advanced analytic understanding of the social, cultural, political, and practical implications of their work. In particular, we emphasize structural, feminist, Indigenous, and anti-oppressive analysis within a context of interdisciplinary work in an effort to link policy to practice. Our current students bring a strong commitment to social justice and anti-oppressive social work practice in their course work, field placements, and research endeavours. Students engage in a curriculum that is under continual redevelopment as the School strives to meet the challenges set within the mission statement. Our student body is diverse – as they bring diversity of history, knowledge, and experience to the School. Students are encouraged to pursue their particular interests through incorporating their interests in course assignments and in their field placement or thesis. |
