This course gives the candidate a deepened and reflected understanding of the basic thinking and academic conditions related to the subject area of the PhD program Diakonia, values and professional practice.
This course highlights the basic thinking and academic conditions related to the study of professional and diaconal practices. It emphasizes and relates values and practice to public/faith-based/third-sector health and social services. Values, ethical references and spirituality are emphasized. Further, the course frames such professional practices and values through the development of differing welfare models and increasing pluralism. Overall, the course addresses how professional practice is intertwined with individual and institutional values and how this varies in differing vocational contexts. Thus, central theories of practice, professionalism and an inter-disciplinary approach are emphasized.
