SWK6533 -- Advance Macro Practice: Recent Episodes
Neil Gorman (DSW, LCSW, AP)
This is is a series of podcast-lectures (or "lecture-casts") that Neil Gorman (DSW, LCSW) has produced as part of the Fall 2020 semester for SWK6533-01 Advanced Social Policy, which is also sometimes called "advanced macro practice." If you're a student in this class you'll want to listen to the lectures here BEFORE class begins.
In this Podcast-Lecture I talk about power, and how to use it in a way that is efficient & responsible.
INTRO:
This podcast lecture tries to take all the content from these first four weeks (the first fourth of the semester!) and tie them all together.
CONTENT:
- Cruel Optimism & Lauren Burlant -- What are our society's values?
- The Flexner report & being professional
- The four discourses
- Social service orgs.
This podcast lecture is my attempt to provide some context for the four discourses, which we will engage (i.e. play with) during this semester as we attempt to interpret what is happening in the world of social policy.
Episode 002 is on the Flexner report of 1915 & the question of if social work is a profession.
