How do students grapple with indigenization, universalism, and imperialism in the social work profession? This presentation describes strategies and lessons-learned for engaging students in core debates around the creation of social work knowledge, values, and practice methods and presents avenues for centering these debates across curricula.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will identify core definitions and common debates around indigenization, universalism, and imperialism in the social work profession.
  2. Participants will examine teaching strategies used to dissect indigenization, universalism, and imperialism in social work education and explore lessons learned from classroom experiences.
  3. Participants will define the tenets of cultural humility and explore its use in social work curricula, research, and practice spaces.
