What Are We Teaching in Diversity and Social Justice Courses? A Qualitative Content Analysis of MSW Syllabi
Mehrotra, Gita R.; Hudson, Kimberly D.; Self, Jen M.
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v37 n3 p218-233 2017
Diversity and social justice are central to social work and related curricular content is mandated by accreditation standards. However, research regarding diversity and social justice courses remains limited. This study aimed to better understand how these courses are conceptualized through a qualitative content analysis of course descriptions and objectives from 27 MSW course syllabi. Findings were organized into themes related to knowledge, skills, and values-based content areas. Emergent themes highlighted that these courses center knowledge acquisition, are linked to professional socialization, and have self-awareness as a primary goal. Implications for social work education are discussed.
