Parts 1 and 2 must be completed to fulfil the requirements of the unit.<br/><br/>This unit considers the philosophical and theoretical foundations of social work. Students consider in depth the interface between abstract notions of purposes and place and social work as an embodied activity. To provide context for their research, they are required to engage with and critique dominant discourses, current and historical, and to explore theoretical frameworks and practice principles as they are applied and operationalised, in their practice setting and globally. -- Course Website
