Tools of the Trade: Educating Future Social Workers for Anti-Oppressive Practice
April 24, 2023 @ 2:30 pm - 3:30 pm EDT
Keisha Owens
This presentation provides an overview of the capstone project which explores the research question: What does the literature say about teaching cultural humility in social work education?
Cultural humility is an important component of anti-oppressive practice. Anti-racism, Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (ADEI) is a component that is required in social work education by the Council on Social Work Accreditation (CSWE). The CSWE allows flexibility for how accredited social work schools implement this in education.
The presentation includes a brief overview of the systematic literature review that revealed inadequate empirical evidence for the methods used to teach cultural humility. Three teaching methods were identified and will be discussed: Intergroup dialogue, experiential learning, and reflective writing.
An overview of applicable theories will be explored, including Critical Race Theory, Systems Theory, and Experiential Learning Theory. Implications and a proposed solution to enhance social work education will be proposed.
