Earn 1 CE Hour
This is an anti-racist, anti-colonial workshop that invites colleagues to embark on an Era's Tour of social welfare. Through storytelling and participatory practices, we will critique the evolution of social work education and practice. We will envision a future era of liberation where social work stands for equity and justice.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Upon completion, the participant will be able to examine the historical roots of social work practice, including neoliberalism, settler colonialism, and white supremacy.
  2. Upon completion, the participant will be able to discuss ways to disrupt and dismantle the ethical conflicts and contradictions inherent to working within institutions that continue to uphold neoliberalism, settler colonialism, and white supremacy that contradict social work values and ethics.
  3. Upon completion, the participant will be able to envision a future where social work education and practices are rooted in justice and liberation.
