Despite the duty to advocate for marginalized communities, social work has been complicit in white supremacy and misogyny in its treatment of women in academic spaces. This panel of 3 to 4 scholars will take an intersectional perspective to discuss and examine the effect of patriarchal structures in the academy.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss the varied and intersectional ways that women experience discrimination and oppression in academia.
Examine how social work education is complicit in misogyny and how it manifests in the work of women
Develop recommendactions for policy and practice.
