MSSW 644 - International Social Work and Human Rights

This course examines how the social construct of “Human Rights” can assist in the development of economic and social justice, thereby becoming a strategy for social change. It emphasizes the United Nations’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, endorsed by the General Assembly in 1948, and today referred to as customary international law. It first examines the history of the idea of human rights, and then contemporary human rights concepts with emphasis upon the United States and suggested research and action stategies.
