Engaging Antiracism through Interdisciplinary Teaching
Journal of Social Work Education, v59 suppl 1 pS157-S165 2023
This article examines the role of interdisciplinarity in strengthening social work's commitments to antiracism at the macro level. We describe our experiences of designing and implementing an interdisciplinary workshop for undergraduate students focused on the use of public policy to aid in the dismantling of white supremacy. Engaging sociological theories of race and racism supported student learning about the systemic nature of racial inequality and the need to accompany individual-level interventions with structural change. The dialogic benefits of interdisciplinarity are discussed in terms of strengthening macro social work education and forwarding a robust and clearly defined antiracist social work epistemology and praxis. Implications for social work education and practice are discussed.?
