HUSV 311 Diversity and Multicultural Foundations in Human Services
This course lays the foundation of multicultural understanding, exploring the areas of gender, race, ethnicity, social class, and other areas of inequality that human services professionals may encounter. Students will be challenged to develop a deeper understanding of self, biases, and personal values that may be a challenge in their work with diverse individuals as well as resources for overcoming challenges. At its core, the course aims to encourage students to think about human beings as cultural beings and to strive to understand them in their cultural context, including the systems of oppression that promote marginalization in an attempt to serve all clients and advocate for equality of services.
