While a commitment to antiracist and anti-oppressive practice is a core competency of social work education, many clinical social workers may struggle to explore, discuss, and intervene around the effects of systemic oppression affecting the individuals and families they work with.
This presentation will introduce social workers to the liberation health framework:
a social justice-focused method of social work practice that integrates analysis of ideological, social, and political forces with the traditional clinical model.
Dawn Belkin Martinez is the Associate Dean for Equity & Inclusion and Clinical Professor at Boston University, School of Social Work.
The lecture is part of the international MA Program Social Work as a Human Rights Profession and will be held in English.
All university members, including students from both departments, are invited!
The event is sponsored as part of the Sage SAGE! project.
