Diversity concepts are discussed, taking into consideration societal power relationships and social inequality, and put in the context of mechanisms of discrimination. Furthermore, dealing with discrimination with those concerned, personal positioning and experiences, and the consequences for professional relationships, are discussed. Central concepts like construction and deconstruction or doing gender are illustrated. The students learn to reflect about their own societal role, their knowledge and their experiences in relation to diversity criteria. The integration of gender and diversity aspects in communication and intervention strategies by students is of central importance here. Additionally, the students get to know concrete approaches to work for Social Work, which build on concepts of social inequality.Assessment methodsFinal examTeaching methodsLecture, working in small groups, discussion, guided reflectionLanguageGerman-English> Social Work Theories ILV Social Work moreSocial Work Theories ILVLector: Mag.a Manuela Hofer, BA2SWS4ECTS> Perspectives of Political Science ILV Social Work morePerspectives of Political Science ILVLector: Mag.a Manuela Hofer, BA, Mag.a Dr.in Irene Messinger2SWS4ECTSLecture contentsIn this course students are introduced to the foundations and terminology of political processes, political communication and the aggregation of interests.
