Community Immersion Meeting 1 Notes
I. Introductions (20 MINUTES)
a. Introduce myself
b. Student introductions (TAKE ROLL)
b.i. Name
b.ii. Home town
b.iii. What brought you to USC’s SSW?
c. Review syllabus and CI schedule
II. Communities (10 MINUTES)
a. Overview
a.i. We start the SSW program with a study of communities because communities offer people formal and informal resources, social networks, and social capital which support them in their daily life—and especially in times of need (i.e. earthquakes, flooding, finding a job, starting school, childcare in an emergency, etc. Think Katrina.)
b. Lecture
b.i. Review the Glossary of Terms
b.i.1. Community
b.i.2. Diversity
b.i.3. Social capital
b.i.4. Social networks
b.i.5. Neighborhoods
b.i.6. Neighborhood role in the helping process
b.ii. Review community four-cell chart
b.ii.1. Shared space or geographic community – has boundaries and place names (e.g. Koreatown, Boyle Heights, West Hollywood, Pacoima)
b.ii.2. Shared function or identity community – has common interests unrelated to geography (the African-American community, a community of scholars, the USC community, etc.)
No Shared Space
Shared Space
Few Common Interests
#1 Society
#3 Limited Liability (i.e. suburbs)
Common Interests
#2 Personal Community
#4 Ethnic Enclave
b.ii.2.a. Society: few common interests and no shared space; we have few things in common and know little of each other’s experience. We can’t really count on getting our needs met.
b.ii.2.b. Personal community: common interests but no shared space; personal networks of ethnicity, friendship, day-to-day support and assistance—what we usually mean by “personal networks”. The problem is that there’s no proximity, so, in times of crisis, we can’t draw on these people quickly (i.e. natural disaster).
b.ii.2.c. Limited Liability (suburbs): shared geography but few common interests; identifies the communities that most of us live
