Social welfare policies and legislation are explored in terms of historic rationale, implementation, and effectiveness. Students gain an understanding of concepts and frameworks for analyzing social welfare policies and programs, including their effects on oppressed and at-risk populations. Students recognize the role of social workers as agents of change and learn to advocate for social welfare policies that improve the lives of individuals, families, and groups.
