  1. Upon completion, the participant will be able to articulate the core principles of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) and its significance in addressing systemic oppression within social work education.
  2. Upon completion, the participant will be able to analyze and confront language that sustains systemic barriers in social work practice.
  3. Upon completion, the participant will be able to design and implement CDA-informed pedagogical strategies that promote critical thinking and empower students to act as justice-oriented social workers.
