This framework aims to serve as an archetypal design curriculum that prioritizes centering diversity, equity, inclusion, Anti-Racist practices (DEIA), and decentering whiteness. It highlights native epistemologies and narrative/testimonios. It addresses the 13th Grand Challenge for Social Work: Eliminate Racism and the limitations in the multicultural/cultural competence approach to diversity education.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will explore strategies for highlighting native epistemologies as well as narrative/testimonios in the academic setting.
  2. Participants will explore how to integrate critical theories as analytical tools for evaluating the conditions in which race and racism have been created.
  3. Participants will learn how to promote students learning from an Anti-Racist and historically informed lens.
