Policy Analysis Group Paper – Using APA, Students will participate in an assignment to conduct an analysis of a social welfare policy and the development of programs and services. The policy analysis should be examined through the lens of a marginalized/vulnerable/oppressed population.

Students will chose from groups that may include (choose 1 or identify your own): I choose Families, women, and children
