Abstract
This empirical study attempted to design and test an innovative curriculum integrating social, economic, and environmental issues into the curriculum of a Social Work Practice with Communities and Organizations course at United Arab Emirates University. A quasi-experimental study involving a sample of 56 students concluded that the designed curriculum and its contents effectively give students an in-depth understanding of the inherent complexities in shaping effective responses to social, economic, and environmental crises. The students recognize the professional roles of social work in addressing environmental justice issues.
