While research on white founders of social work is plentiful, there is a lack of documentation on Black social work pioneers and their contributions. This article uses Critical Race Theory to examine the role of racism and white supremacy in social work education, and calls for a shift away from white-centered discourse and curricula to acknowledge and center Black social work pioneers. Implications for decolonizing pedagogy and anti-racist practice in social work education are also discussed.
While there is mounting research on the well-known white founders of social work, documentation of Black social work pioneers and their contributions is scarce - in both social work education and the broader telling of the profession's history. Given the systemic exclusion of Black social workers in the dominant narrative of social work history, there is a critical need to understand how social work education perpetuates and centers whiteness in the teaching of historical and contemporary social work. This article uses Critical Race Theory to interrogate the role of racism and white supremacy in maintaining the Eurocentric hegemony undergirding the pedagogical and epistemological canons of social work. Moreover, the authors call for a radical shift from social work's white-centered discourse and curricula to an equitable praxis, centering Black social work pioneers and their contributions to the profession. Implications for decolonizing pedagogy and anti-racist practice in social work education are also discussed.
