3.00 credits
Prerequisites: Open to students in both the MSW program and the STEP program.
Grading Basis: Graded
Emphasizes the double oppression that the Puerto Rican woman faces. Analyzes the double burden that she confronts when seeking to maintain her identity as a Puerto Rican and as a woman in a society which discriminates against both groups. Equal emphasis is placed on issues of racism, classism, and heterosexualism since these issues create an even stronger burden on Puerto Rican women. Special consideration is given to Puerto Rican cultural aspects of the socialization process of males and females with a focus on rigid adherence to sex roles (e.g., machismo - marianismo).Elective course for Substantive Area: Focused Area of Study on Puerto Rican/Latino/a Studies Social Work; Elective course for Substantive Area: Focused Area of Study on Social Work with Women and Children in Families; Elective course for Substantive Area: Focused Area of Study on Urban Issues in Social Work.
