Falk College seeks a part-time instructor to teach SWK 626 M702 Persons in Social Contexts (3 credits) in the Fall 2024 (08/19/2024-12/10/2024) semester. Course Description: Persons in Social Context focuses on an assessment of behavior of diverse individuals, groups, and social systems. The course applies concepts from the biological, behavioral, and social sciences in identifying and understanding forms and causes of human behavior. Course Overview: Persons in Social Context is a broad-based foundation course which encourages students to understand that human behavior—individual, family, group, or in larger communities—is influenced by a wide array of factors. Sociological theories of institutions and psychological theories of behavior are explored separately and are integrated into bio-psycho-social-spiritual and ecological-systemic models. Persons in Social Context uses biological, psychological, and socio-cultural content to analyze human behavior, development, and the functioning of social systems. Theoretical conceptualization is within a developmental socio-ecological perspective on the reciprocal relationship of persons and social contexts. The course is designed to sharpen the social work student’s capacity to understand and to systematically explain human behavior and social events they will face in human service positions, and to consider the pragmatic, political, and ethical dimensions of these explanations. Class meetsThursdays, 6:00-7:30 PM EST, w/async content management (async opens 1-week before live class Zoom sessions).

Syracuse is a medium-sized city situated in the geographic center of New York State approximately 250 miles northwest of New York City. The metro-area population totals approximately 500,000. The area offers a low cost of living and provides many social, cultural, and recreational options, including parks, museums, festivals, professional regional theater, and premier shopping venues. Syracuse and Central New York present a wide range of seasonal recreation and attractions ranging from water skiing and snow skiing, hiking in the Adirondacks, touring the historic sites, visiting wineries along the Finger Lakes, and biking on trails along the Erie Canal.

Syracuse University is an equal-opportunity, affirmative-action institution. The University prohibits discrimination and harassment based on race, color, creed, religion, sex, gender, national origin, citizenship, ethnicity, marital status, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, veteran status, or any other status protected by applicable law to the extent prohibited by law. This nondiscrimination policy covers admissions, employment, and access to and treatment in University programs, services, and activities.

Syracuse University has a long history of engaging veterans and the military-connected community through its educational programs, community outreach, and employment programs. After World War II, Syracuse University welcomed more than 10,000 returning veterans to our campus, and those veterans literally transformed Syracuse University into the national research institution it is today. The University’s contemporary commitment to veterans builds on this historical legacy, and extends to both class-leading initiatives focused on making an SU degree accessible and affordable to the post-9/11 generation of veterans, and also programs designed to position Syracuse University as the employer of choice for military veterans, members of the Guard and Reserve, and military family members.

Syracuse University maintains an inclusive learning environment in which students, faculty, administrators, staff, curriculum, social activities, governance, and all other aspects of campus life reflect a diverse, multi-cultural, and international worldview. The University community recognizes and values the many similarities and differences among individuals and groups. At Syracuse, we are committed to preparing students to understand, live among, appreciate, and work in an inherently diverse country and world made up of people with different ethnic and racial backgrounds, military backgrounds, religious beliefs, socio-economic status, cultural traditions, abilities, sexual orientations and gender identities. To do so, we commit ourselves to promoting a community that celebrates and models the principles of diversity and inclusivity.
