Goals of the course:The course has three main goals. The first goal is to gain theoretical knowledge of gender and feminist theory and the role it has played in development of social policy and social work theory and practice. Attention will be given also to the intersectionality approach and critical social work theory, which are both useful for developing gender sensitive social work practice that responds to the specific needs of the clients, but also enables understanding of their problems on a structural, rather than only individual level. Although gender here is seen as a crucial structural characteristic, attention will also be given to other social categories such as class, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation and the role they play in different situations and settings as a basis of advantage as well as oppression. Within gender theory, more attention is given to women as a specific group, however the course is focusing also on men, both in the role of social workers as well as clients with specific issues and needs which should be addressed.The second goal of the course is to learn how gender theory can be practically applied to understanding specific issues such as criminality, domestic violence, homelessness, drug use, involvement in the sex industry, parenting etc. This goal will be fulfilled especially through seminars where students will discuss principles of gender sensitive social work practice with various target groups of clients and in various forms of social services and institutions.The third goal of the course is to develop and improve writing skills of short academic papers, which will be fulfilled through seminar assignments and final paper. The learning process will be strengthened by feedback which will be given by the teacher as well as by the students themselves at the seminars.Learning outcomes:By the end of the course students will be able to:- identify and critically reflect feminist and gender theory contribution to contemporary social work theory and practice;- understand the role that gender and other social categories play in social work practice;- employ the gender perspective in social work practice with clients and in social work organizations;- employ gender perspective in their further studies;- write short academic papers, using proper form, structure and quotation standards.
