MPPA 570 - Ethics, Diversity & Socially Responsible Practice

3
This course provides students with a solid foundation for ethical and socially responsible practice in public and social policy work as well as community-based practice. Students will explore ethical standards expected of public and not-for-profit leaders and how these standards impact policy related scenarios. They will engage in ethical decision-making processes as they develop increasingly complex understandings of how to apply ethical codes that inform community development and policy practice. Students will develop and respond to ethics-based scenarios using key concepts such as diversity, racialization, colonialism, and intersectionality. Finally, they will articulate their own standpoint as socially responsible practitioners from within their historical context.
