The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the various processes and mechanisms of marginalization so that they are able to critically reflect on them. The course will deal with sociological theories of marginalization and social inequalities, as well as the concepts of poverty, exclusion, discrimination, unemployment, etc. that are used to understand marginalization. Theoretical knowledge will be applied to concrete examples from a social work perspective, e.g. in relation to ethnic minorities or homeless people. Thus, students will connect the macro- and micro-sociological perspective and learn to apply it in the context of social intervention. The course will consist of a theoretical and a seminar part. Experts are also invited to participate in the seminars.
As part of the course the students will master or enhance the following expert knowledge, skills and competences: - knowing and understanding basic concepts associated with social marginalisation and social work with persons endangered by marginalisation, or already marginalised, - the student will be able to discern and reflect her fundamental cultural attitudes and their consequences for social work with socially marginalised client, - will further be able to appropriately apply social work approaches with this target group. |
