Abstract

As the social work landscape rapidly changes to more directly address the effects of racism, colonialism and all areas of oppression on individuals, communities and systems, the delivery of responsive clinical social work services is being called to radically transform. This transformation starts with social work education, both in curriculum and in pedagogy, and must include an emphasis on anti-Blackness, starting with raising consciousness and increasing awareness of its prevalence and then deciding how to move beyond awareness. Although clinical social work educators are charged with the task of training emerging social workers to effectively translate theory into practice, missing is guidance on how to do so with an anti-Black, decolonial sensitivity. In 2022, the authors introduced a model – the Trajectory of Awareness (ToA) – to address an aspect of anti-Black racism and in this paper, we return to the ToA model, incorporating decolonial principles. Decoloniality is very much aligned with teaching about anti-Black racism and developing a skill set in teaching about anti-Black racism from a decolonial perspective is essential.
一枚硬币的两面:临床社会工作专业学生介入反黑人种族主义教学中的非殖民立场
随着社会工作领域的迅速变化,更直接地解决种族主义、殖民主义和对个人、社区和系统的所有压迫领域的影响,响应性临床社会工作服务的提供正在被要求从根本上转变。这种转变从社会工作教育开始,包括课程和教学法,必须包括对反黑人的强调,从提高意识和提高对其普遍存在的认识开始,然后决定如何超越意识。尽管临床社会工作教育者肩负着培训新兴社会工作者将理论有效地转化为实践的任务,但缺少关于如何以反黑人和非殖民化的敏感性来做到这一点的指导。在2022年,作者引入了一个模型-意识轨迹(ToA) -来解决反黑人种族主义的一个方面,在本文中,我们回到ToA模型,结合非殖民化原则。非殖民化与反黑人种族主义的教学非常一致,从非殖民化的角度发展一套反黑人种族主义的教学技能是必不可少的。
