MHC 5420 Social Justice and Advocacy Issues in Counseling
This elective course will follow an experiential/lecture format to explore issues that may arise in organizational settings requiring a social justice analysis and advocacy approach (e.g., racism, sexism, classism, etc.). The theory, research and practice on social justice and advocacy issues in organizational settings will be reviewed from a multidisciplinary perspective. Ethical and legal issues (e.g., confidentiality, informed consent, boundaries, competence) that are unique to advocacy and work in community organizational settings will be covered. The course will emphasize leadership for equity, social justice, and advocacy in counseling with underrepresented and oppressed populations.
