SCWK-36404 Workshop: Social Work and the Catholic Social Tradition

The profession of social work and the Catholic Social Tradition (“CTS”) contain resonant approaches to certain social problems. By taking a deep, detailed dive into several major works within the CTS, this workshop seeks to place the CTS and social work in conversation. This workshop will proceed as a close reading of, and discussion about, three major encyclicals within the CTS: Rerum Novarum, Centesimus Annus, and Laudato Si’. Students will draw connections between the documentary history and contemporary social problems.
