This course will examine the history of the social work profession. By reading and discussing influential historic social work texts, students will understand and consider the enduring tensions, achievements, and possibilities of the social work profession. The influences of socioeconomic class, race, and gender on the development of social work and social work education and leadership administration are considered. The longstanding tensions between theory and practice and between micro and macro practice are also addressed. The historical legacy of leadership provided by educators and other influential persons in the social work profession are examined. Students will present historic texts and lead thought-provoking and engaging discussions. Students will conduct a scholarly historic analysis of archival materials on a topic related to the profession of social work, education, or leadership administration that culminates in a research paper and review a peer’s final paper, as well. Students will develop a consciousness of their identity as a social work scholar-practitioner and be able to identify and articulate the historic antecedents that have influenced this development.
