This course focuses on current, and often controversial, issues in social work education. Students will grapple with contemporary issues facing social work educators - those ranging from broad philosophical concerns (e.g., decolonizing social work education, role of advanced standing MSW programs, etc.) to more micro level topics (e.g., power differentials in the academy, boundary issues, etc.). Through course readings, critical dialogue and questioning assumptions about how things have always been done.

This course addresses the role and variety of scholarship in the academy and social work education specifically. By examining teaching/ education as a distinct area of social work practice, this class prepares students to contribute to social work scholarship around teaching and learning. Students will identify their own strengths and growth areas around engaging in scholarship. Students will continue to develop their engagement with scholarship, thus cementing the circular relationship between knowledge building, evidence and social work practice.
