Event Description
This round table, group based event will provide a unique opportunity for the academic community to review literature on anti-racist social work education. It will enable participants to exchange views and share findings from theoretical and empirical pedagogic research as well as social work practice.
The focus will be on applying existing knowledge on race and racism to the emerging implementation demands of the Health Care Professions Council (HCPC) Guidance on Conduct and Ethics for Students and the Standards of Proficiency. Equal emphasis will be given to the curricula development relating to The College of Social Work Professional Capabilities Framework Domains: Values and Ethics, Diversity and Rights, Justice and Economic Well Being.
The workshop will be open to the wider HEI sector and social work professional networks. It will particularly appeal to the Anti-racist Social Work Forum, a group of academics who have written and commented widely on the issue of anti-racist practice in social work in the 4 countries of the UK and elsewhere. The aim is to sustain a linked community which seeks to enhance research evidence through gathering, sharing and synthesising ideas on race, ethnicity, culture, difference and religion.
The aims of the workshop are to:
- examine pedagogic research and models of practice;
- exchange knowledge and build expertise on anti-racist practice in social work;
- network and provide opportunities to review and reflect on individual practice;
- promote the sharing of evidence, policy and practice within and across institutions;
- identify key themes;
- develop theories and models to meet the HCPC Standards of Proficiency and The College of Social Work Professional Capabilities Framework; and
- disseminate widely to inform teaching, learning and assessment.

ContinueUnlearning through Mad Studies: disruptive pedagogical praxis

Medical discourse currently dominates as the defining framework for madness in educational praxis. Consequently, ideas rooted in a mental health/illness binary abound in higher learning, as both curriculum content and through institutional procedures that reinforce structures of normalcy. While madness, then, is included in university spaces, this inclusion proceeds in ways that continue to pathologize madness and disenfranchise mad people.
This paper offers Mad…
