Engaging Undergraduate Social Work Students in Challenging Dialogues About Race

Abstract

This study provides a description, overview, and lessons learned from an undergraduate generalist practice course assignment aimed at promoting critical dialogues about race among undergraduate social work students at a historically Black university and students from a predominantly White institution. The preliminary qualitative results from reflection journals provide lessons learned about how students experienced this dialogue project and can be helpful to other undergraduate social work instructors considering incorporating race dialogues into their classes.
