Courses: Human Service Programs covering issues of diversity and difference
Call for Chapters
Authors are invited to critically examine the concept of diversity and difference. Grounded within an anti-oppression practice framework, this critical examination of diversity and difference enables students in Human Services to better understand the roots and manifestations of prejudice and discrimination, violence against women, children and the elderly.
Authors are encouraged to discuss the causal factors and implications and the impact on marginalized populations, such as racialized peoples, older adults, immigrants and refugees, people with disabilities, LGBTTTIQQ communities and Aboriginal Peoples.
