Poverty, inequality, and inequity are among the most pervasive social problems of our time. This course explores the causes and consequences of inequity and inequality and focuses on understanding the experiences of vulnerable and at risk populations in the 21st Century. An exploration of historical and current context of social problems will utilize a social justice framework and will allow students to understand the complexities of social problems as faced by the vulnerable population's social work serves and how social work defines and addresses these issues.
