FSOS 5150: Special Topics in Family Social Science

Healing Community-Institution Relationships

Social service, health care, and educational institutions are emphasizing community engagement, but efforts will not succeed without understanding historical and cultural 

contexts.

FSOS 5150 will examine some of the historical and cultural contexts for community-institution relationships in the United States, and the impact this history has on our current attempts to engage with communities. Students will have the opportunity to talk to members of partnerships who are working to heal the relationships between communities and institutions, and begin to develop skills for participating in community-institution healing.
