Title: Ethnicity, Race, Oppression, and Social Work: The Canadian Case
Abstract: In 1987, the Canadian Association of Schools of Social Work adopted policies and accreditation standards that reflect the profession's commitment to address issues of race, ethnicity, and cultural diversity in its programs and curricula. Task force recommendations to emphasize antiracism in schools of social work were contested and resisted. Since then, various shifts in perspectives have emerged and adopted in social work to varying degrees. Despite efforts to advance antiracism, and more specifically anti-Black racism and anticolonialism in social work education, anti-oppression has been more palatable to mainstream social workers. To advance the profession, these perspectives must be understood and addressed.
