CSWE Annual Conference

Championing Disability Justice and Disability Joy in Social Work

The Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is thrilled to announce the 71st Annual Conference in Denver, Colorado, October 23–26, 2025!

This year’s conference theme, “It’s Time to Act: Championing Disability Justice and Disability Joy in Social Work,” champions the need for social work conversations around disability joy, justice, diversity, equity, and inclusion.

The conference will host proposals and conversations around disability joy and the disability justice principles of intersectionality, interdependence, centering those most impacted, mutual aid, cross movement solidarity, recognizing wholeness, commitment to cross-disability solidarity, sustainability, collective access, collective liberation, and opposition to oppressive systems.
