April 2022 session: Anti-racist pedagogy and social work field education
Possible discussion questions we may explore:
- How do conversations about race, privilege, oppression, etc. show up in field education?
- Do people use specific anti-racism-focused assignments or frameworks when covering these issues in field seminars?
- How can we boost the capacity of our field instructors to be able to talk about race, privilege and oppression with our students given what they are getting in the academic classroom setting?
