Garcia, Betty; Van Soest, Dorothy
Journal of Social Work Education, v33 n1 p119-29 Win 1997
A survey of 43 master's social work students enrolled in a required course on diversity and oppression investigated the course's effect on their understanding of their social identity, on cognitive and affective changes as students considered the effects of discrimination and oppression, and on students' discoveries about barriers to and resources for confronting oppression. Results are reported and implications for instruction considered. (MSE)
