Integrating Art as Story and Storytelling in an Undergraduate Social Work Course

Saturday, October 26, 2024
3:00 PM – 3:30 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 6A
I will present findings from a qualitative research project that explored the impact of developing an undergraduate course on diversity and culture within social work practice that specifically focused on the role of art to process, reflect, story, and explore intersectional identities within and outside of the classroom.

Learning Objectives:

  1. 1. Participants will be able think critically about ways to integrate art (e.g., spoken word, digital storytelling, collages, poetry, photography) as a reflection tool for social work students in the classroom.
  2. 2. Participants will be to identify key aspects of how to integrate art as a place-based opportunity (e.g., engaging with local artists, grants, projects, etc.) to engage in local and surrounding neighborhoods and communities, in order for students to reflect about self in relation to others.
  3. 3. Participants will be able to think critically and creatively about the potential of art as a mean and mode for students to not only story their own individual lived experiences and intersecting identities but to also consider how to potentially incorporate artistic renderings into their own practitioner toolboxes.
