The School of Social Welfare is committed to a more just society based
on equality, human dignity and social justice. We believe that
inequality and injustices are deeply embedded in society's political and
economic structures and ideologies. Oppression objectively and
subjectively permeates the lives of people, resulting in the denial of
human dignity, individual and cultural diversity, and social and
economic justice. Oppression is manifest in discrimination on the basis
of class, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, age and
disability, among others. Our purpose is to prepare students for work
in professional social work practice in the public and non-profit
sectors of health and social welfare. The School's educational process
enables people to identify and analyze the nature and extent of
oppression and engage in social work practice that affirms people's
strengths as a means to create social change in their lives and in
society. The school stresses a commitment to the values of human and
cultural diversity, human dignity, social and economic justice, and
individual and group self-determination.
