Question: Write this in report from Task: Individual Report on Response to Case Study. This case study written response needs to be in a report format and 1500 words in length (including in-text citations but not the end text reference list).

The report should: • include at least 7 scholarly peer reviewed journal articles as well as some of the relevant weekly textbook references. • adhere to the course formatting guidelines - these are listed in the assessment section on your unit site. • use APA 7th referencing. The case study written response will be written in a report formal academic style with the following: • Cover page. • Contents page. • A selected model or framework of oppressive practice.

• Part One: Aspects of diversity and barriers to inclusion.

• Part Two: Historical context and structural oppression

• Part Three: Power and privilege.

• Part Four: Project plan • The conclusion will summarise your key points and recommendations. Your lecturer will form you into groups of 4 in Week 6. Please select ONE case study as a group. Then, write an individual report (not with your group) based on the chosen case study as a community services worker to address the following questions:

*Question 1. What target group/cohort does the person/people in the case study belong to such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, refugees, women, people with (dis)abilities, etc. (target group or cohort content and readings from weeks 3-6 will help you)?

Question 2. Research and identify a key structural historical approach that has impacted your target group. This could be a policy, legislation, or socio-cultural issue (we cover historical factors in weeks 3 to 6 under struggles and inequality. However, research historical events, policies or legislation that has impacted your group).

Question 3. Identify and explain the contemporary oppressive issue resulting from the historical approach, policy, legislation, or socio-cultural issue. - What oppressive factors are at play? - Are there any stereotypes/prejudice, micro-aggressions or types of discrimination taking place?

Question 4. Whilst responding to the oppressive issue, explore the role of power and privilege in the case study, aspects of diversity that are relevant and how it impacts this population and subsequent generations (if relevant). - Are there any intersectional identities at play? - How is power and powerlessness represented here? - What types and modes of power are at play in the case study? - What privileges are at play in this case study?

Question 5. As a community service worker, how will you respond to the oppressive issue by applying one of the models or frameworks of anti-oppressive practice discussed in Week 7 or aspects of the SHARP framework? Develop a community service project idea and draft a plan. Your response to this question will inform Task 2B (citations from credible literature are needed to justify your choice).

Case Study

An Aboriginal woman telephoned in response to a newspaper advertisement for a house to rent. She spoke with another woman, and an agreement was made to rent the house and for the woman to inspect it later that day. The other woman was the owners wife.

When the woman and her mother (also Aboriginal) went to inspect the house as arranged, the owner's wife indicated the house had been rented to someone else, and said the house was too good for you. She said a house down the road was more suitable.

Later that day, the woman's sister-in-law rang the advertised number enquiring about the house to rent, and she was told the house was still available. That evening, the woman's husband also rang and spoke to the owner's daughter, who told him her father didn't want to rent to blacks, even though the owner's daughter knew the husband was white.

The tribunal accepted that an agreement to rent the house had been reached between the woman and the owner's wife over the telephone, and that the owner's wife had withdrawn from the agreement when she saw that the woman was an Aborigine with dark skin. The tribunal found the owner's wife was acting as the owner's agent, with both actual and ostensible authority. This meant the owner was responsible for the discriminatory conduct of his wife.

The tribunal found the refusal to rent caused the woman to remain in overcrowded emergency housing with her husband and six children, for a number of months. Being told the house was too good for her, and that a sub-standard house down the road was more suitable for her, was deeply hurtful to the woman. She experienced continuing pain and humiliation from the refusal to rent and had adopted the strategy of having her husband inspect houses for rent to avoid again being denied housing because of her Aboriginality.
