Session: Integrating Justice: Legal Eco-Social Work and Decolonial Eco-Queer Feminist Approaches

Beyond the Dichotomy: Toward Decolonial Eco-Queer Feminist Imaginaries and Pedagogies in Social Work Education

Saturday, October 26, 2024
1:00 PM – 1:30 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Room 2504B
By exploring points of convergence and continuities across decolonial, ecofeminist, and queer theories, this conversation maps out four theoretical tenets crucial for reconceptualizing social work’s pedagogical and practice foundations. Ultimately, the presenters advance an integrative decolonial eco-queer pedagogy crucial for shifting the field towards a more transformative social-planetary healing horizon.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe the role of critical perspectives of power in liberatory and transformative social work praxis.
  2. Understand fundamental theoretical tenets of decoloniality, eco-feminist, and queer theories in relation to social work teaching and learning.
  3. Articulate the meaning of planetary health and eco-pedagogies within a social work context.
