Description
An Integrative Approach to Addressing Homelessness, Economic Inequality, and Financial Capability in Social Work Education
The Grand Challenges for Social Work Initiative (GCSWI) will be introduced, focusing on the interconnectedness of three challenges; end homelessness, reduce extreme economic inequality, and build financial capability and assets for all. The presentation will center on the three challenges, outlining the importance of incorporating skills to address these challenges within a social work curriculum. A conceptual map will be presented to outline the three capstone products.
The challenges will first be introduced in an overview of the systematic literature review, highlighting supportive literature and the conclusions drawn from gaps in literature. The interconnectedness of the challenges will then be further explored and conceptualized through usage of anti-oppressive theory. A proposal for practice application will be provided, tying in the usage of literature and theory to ground practice.
The final capstone product will present a proposal for incorporating the three grand challenges into a curriculum in order to expand student knowledge and practice skill in working with underserved and low-income clients and communities.
Learning Objectives:
- Gain a foundational understanding of the Grand Challenges Initiative and it’s role in preparing social work students to tackle complex social issues
- Recognize how theory can be applied to view the three Grand Challenges through a social justice lens
- Identify how financial literacy can be utilized as an educational tool in addressing economic inequality and homelessness
