A Queer Idea: Using Group Work Principles to Strengthen Learning in a Sexual Minorities Seminar

ABSTRACT This paper examines the application of group work principles to enhance personal, professional, and pedagogical awareness in a Master's level course on social work practice with sexual minorities. The instructor's overall objective was to create an educational support group in a seminar-like environment which would draw on the experience of class members as well as on the growing body of literature surrounding topics by and about gay/lesbian/bisexual/transgender people. The course was organized around group work principles, including mutuality, reciprocity, connection, shared leadership, collective empowerment, member ownership of the group, and a commitment to honoring diversity.
