Integration Project

Description

This assignment is designed to give you free rein to respond to the class materials and themes in a way you feel is appropriate. The only rule is that you are also expected to ensure a thorough capture of how the material you outline impacts both your personal and professional life.

In other words, you must clearly demonstrate that you have been thinking about lectures, assigned readings, films, and class discussions beyond the surface level, examining their fundamental and philosophical meanings.

First, students will choose one to two of the following themes of the course as a foundation for their project.

The course themes are:

Implicating Self, Anti-oppression, Anti-Racism, and Anti-Black Racism, Anti-Sanism, 2SLGBTQ+ Communities, Practice with Individuals and Groups, Activists and Activism, and the Importance of Resistance.

Note that the themes are not mutually exclusive and can intersect with each other.

Secondly, using the chosen theme(s) of the course, students will use the following question to guide their thinking for their project:

• How do you think encounters and relationships between processes of decolonization, the social work profession, and you (as a person) have been shaped by the themes you have chosen?

Choose one of the following methods for their project:

1. Write a traditional research essay (1500–2000 words or 6-8 double spaced pages maximum) with references to a minimum of 5 course readings or resources.

2. A creative writing piece. For example, a poem or short story. Make sure the creative writing piece is clearly linked to the course material. Unrelated creative writing will be returned unmarked.

3. A visual work. Respond by interpreting an image(s) visually (ie. drawing pictures, beading, sculpting, and creating games, websites, or interactive pieces). Make sure the medium is appropriate to the message(s) you wish to convey. In the written explanation of the response, be sure to talk about the form as well as your content.
