Starting next week, we will be posting posts from students enrolled in the Permanency in Child Welfare courses in the MSW program.
Students were asked to choose an article, either in the current media or in a peer-review journal, or other related item, related to permanency and adoption. The purpose of this assignment is to apply critical thinking skills to topics related to permanency and adoption and to educate a broader, general audience through analyzing writings about permanency and adoption in a way that is accessible.
Their analyses will include:
- A short description of the article—who wrote it, name of publication, date of publication, topic
- A discussion of the strengths and the limitations or weaknesses of the article
- A discussion of the ways in which this article promotes or dispels myths about permanency or adoption
- Links and citations
Enjoy the series!
