Cultural Diversity
Cultural Diversity
Description
An increasing international migration, with a growing welfare gap, contributes to new challenges and demands for citizens and social and welfare workers more specifically. A transnational framework captures the cultural diversity in a globalized world. This course emphasizes cultural diversity within welfare systems and intercultural practices, by addressing families separated by distance and national borders, which forces them to negotiate and maintain family relations with multiple societies across borders. The course provides insight into transnationalism, migration and return migration.
