For the past six weeks, you have learned about the social construction of social identities, on dominant and non-dominant groups, and oppressions based on sex, class, and race. While readings have continuously pointed out white privilege as the dominant group privilege, you also know that privilege is not equally distributed in groups. Intersecting identities creates unique experiences for clients. For this assignment, you draw from what you have been learning during the first part of this course and discuss strategies for anti-oppressive social work practice.
Submit by Day 7a 2- to 3-page APA formatted paper in which you:
- Explain the potential impact of white privilege on clients from both dominant and minority groups (consider impact of both positive and negative stereotypes).
- Explain how intersecting identities might impact an individuals experience (for example, race/ethnicity and gender, race/ethnicity and class, race/ethnicity and ability, race/ethnicity and sexual orientation, race/ethnicity and class).
- Providing specific examples, explain how a social worker might when working with clients.
- Describe 2-3 social work skills and how a social worker might use them to engage in .
- Support ideas in paper withat least2-3 course resources (please reference specific chapters, not the entire textbook) and at least one from the Walden library (not assigned in this course) to support your ideas.
