Social Justice: A Look at Issues Confronting the 21st Century provides students with engaging, timely readings regarding global social issues. The selections offer students various perspectives regarding these issues and inspire critical thinking and vibrant discussion.
Over the course of 13 chapters, students examine the concept of social justice, international experiences with HIV/AIDS, ageism, children’s rights, the foster care system, the influence of terrorism and immigration policy, and the timely issues of injustice, police, and gun violence. They read about economic justice, homelessness, environmental resources, the challenges facing veterans, and the oppression of women. The text concludes with a chapter outlining strategies for combating a number of the social challenges discussed throughout the text.
Each chapter features learning objectives, an introduction, discussion questions, and recommended class activities. Additionally, each chapter aligns with the core competencies and practice behaviors outlined by the Council for Social Work Education.
Presenting students with critical information about the social issues of our time, Social Justice is well suited for courses in social work, counseling, sociology, and social justice.
