Abstract

If social work education should be political, what should be the content of a model political social work curriculum? Reflecting the increasing demand in our profession for a truly culturally diverse, empowerment-based, and social justice-oriented curriculum, the University of Houston developed in a concentration in political social work for the MSW program. This article describes this model curriculum, emphasizing the debates that surround politicized social work education, the importance of political actors and context in the development of the program, and the nature of its “integrated” approach to political social work.
