Choose Working with LGBTQ clients.
Choosing a Cultural Group
In this course, you will work with a few of your fellow learners to construct a presentation on one of the following groups:
Working with African-Americans, Native Americans, and Latinos.
Working with Asian Americans and immigrants.
Working with LGBTQ clients.
Working with ableism and lookism.
Working with older people, spirituality, and religion.
Each person working on the presentation will research and contribute specific slides that analyze issues of power, privilege, and oppression as they pertain to the chosen group, as well as strategies and approaches for practice when working with these issues. Your group will record the presentation using Zoom and share the completed presentation in the week indicated in the syllabus (somewhere in Units 4–9).
As you consider the two different groups you will research for the presentation assignment and for the final course project, please note the following:
The group you choose for the presentation may or may not be a group with which you identify.
Example: You identify as Latino and choose to research Latinos for the presentation.
Example: You identify as Latino and choose to research Asian Americans and immigrants.
The group you choose for the final course project must not be a group with which you identify.
Example: If you identify as Asian Americans, you must choose a group other than Asian Americans to research for the course project.
The group you choose for the course project must be different from the group you choose for the presentation.
Example: If you researched African Americans for the presentation, you must choose a group other than African Americans to research for the course project.
In this discussion post, discuss the group that you would like to research for the presentation. Be sure to discuss why you chose this particular group and what you hope to learn about the group while doing research for the presentation. Your instructor will assign presentations based on common interests.
