3 hours lecture/workshop, 3 credits

This course introduces students to a wide range of social issues starting with the experience of the learner and the local environment and making links nationally and globally. The students will review a variety of viewpoints and using a critical thinking and participatory approach will analyze the historical, political and social factors affecting the issues discussed. HSW 122 is designed to include Aboriginal perspectives on social issues at the local, national and global levels. This is facilitated by using social analysis to orient and analyze the experience of the learners in relation to issues discussed. The voice and experience of the Aboriginal learner is a significant component of discussions, lectures, textual resources and guest lecturers. Group work and cooperative learning activities will be used. This course is designed for both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students.
