Social Workers as Game Changers enables students to increase their knowledge base about specific social issues while at the same time increasing their sense of efficacy in fulfilling their role in addressing complex social justice issues. The case method approach will be used to cover a range of topics such as immigration, homelessness, education, health care, mental health, eminent domain, poverty, gangs and community development. Students will be challenged to think critically about vital issues, weigh the advantages and disadvantages of competing solutions, explore policy alternatives, and grapple with the unintended consequences of any decision.
