Little is known about how social work education can promote engagement in social justice: helping students develop the knowledge, values, and skills associated with implementing change. Utilizing the Social Justice Scale (Torres-Harding et al., 2012), this proposal assessed undergraduate (N=167) perceptions of barriers to engaging in justice efforts.
Learning Objectives:
At the end of this session, attendees should be able to:
Identify common barriers to engaging in social justice.
Articulate gaps in student knowledge to inform curriculum development.
Understand learning strategies to determine influential sources of social justice.
