SOS3100 Social work, social policy and organisation Course description

Emnet tar utgangspunkt i en analyse av sosialt arbeids status i dag og hvilke samfunnsdiskurser som innvirker på det praktiske arbeidet. Dynamikken i forholdet mellom samfunnsutvikling og kunnskapsutvikling blir diskutert. Studentene gis grunnlag til å forstå sosialt arbeid i en internasjonal kontekst, hvor prinsipper om menneskelige rettigheter og global utvikling er sentrale føringer. Emnet gir en innføring i teorier om samfunnsplanlegging, organisasjons- og ledelsesteorier samt fag- og organisasjonsutvikling innenfor sosialfagene. Stats- og kommunalkunnskap bygger på politisk filosofiske spørsmål om velferdsstatens normative grunnlag. Begreper som rettferdighet, paternalisme og liberalitet, blir drøftet. Pensum og undervisning er forskningsbasert.
