ABSTRACT

This paper explores the re-envisioning of a school of social work into a School of Social Work and Social Justice. The thought experiment identifies how a school can meet its educational and social justice mission in response to the historic crises of 2020. An outgrowth of the aspirational strategic vision statement is the proposed strengthening of democratic learning spaces involving students and faculty members, better alignment of school curricular reform with human service workforce dynamics and social work practice needs, and an emphasis on culturally responsive leadership. The overall intention is to identify opportunities for social work schools and departments at public and private universities to advance anti-racist, community-centered innovations in social work education in an uncharted environment.

摘要

本文探讨了将社会工作学院重新设想为社会工作和社会正义学院的过程。思想实验确定了学校如何在应对 2020 年历史性危机时实现其教育和社会正义使命。理想的战略愿景声明的一个产物是提议加强涉及学生和教职员工的民主学习空间，更好地协调学校根据人类服务劳动力动态和社会工作实践需求进行课程改革，并强调对文化敏感的领导力。总体目的是为公立和私立大学的社会工作学院和院系寻找机会，在未知环境中推进反种族主义、以社区为中心的社会工作教育创新。
