The lived experience perspective offers a deliberate approach for social work but requires an intentional commitment to alleviating systemic oppression by centering those most marginalized. This workshop will demonstrate engagement with persons with lived experience, using experiential activities, through an African-centered framework. Implications for social work education will be explored.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify and examine the African-centered framework as an Indigenous system of knowledge for social work practice & pedagogy.
  2. Demonstrate strategies for equitable and healing-centered engagement with persons with lived experience.
  3. Analyze and critically assess the lived experience context as an engagement and pedagogical approach for social work education.
