Social policies affect both the quality of life of the people who make up our society and the guidelines that determine how human services professionals are able to help them. Students in this course will study the history of inequality and social welfare in the United States, contemporary social policy, and the political, economic and social structures that influence how resources are distributed in U.S. society. Topics may include policies affecting individuals, families and children, such as health care, education, housing and employment.
