Discussion - Identify a current issue or event

Discussion

• Identify a current issue or event (within the past year) that speaks to race and ethnicity. It could be local to your community, or it could be national.
• Consider how you would provide culturally competent social work practice to the affected population.

Post a description of a current issue or event that speaks to race and ethnicity. Then explain the following:

• How the event connects to race or ethnicity, and to your current understanding of power, privilege, and oppression
• How you, as a social worker, would approach the population affected. How would you provide culturally competent practice?
• How your approach aligns with and illuminates your personal statement on anti-racist social work practice
