Development of diversity awareness and knowledge
necessary to practice family therapy from
liberation and social justice based frameworks.
This includes interrogating multiple embedded
systems of power and privilege relative to
interconnections of identity and social position.
Focus is on helping students become capable family
therapists in diverse global and multicultural
contexts, including becoming aware of their own
beliefs, biases, and prejudices relative to
culture, race, ethnicity, gender, age, sexual
orientation, socioeconomic status, physical or
mental ability, religion or spirituality, health
or legal status, or nation of origin, or other
marginalized and underserved communities.
