queering social work education

Social work as a profession includes social justice as a core value. This core value not only challenges social workers to support social justice, but also to actively combat social injustice. In order to effectively combat social injustice, we must acknowledge social work’s historical connection to the oppression of queer and trans people through individual pathology and dismantle the systems and institutions in which social workers are involved that are rooted in ideas of white supremacy, heterosexism, and cisgenderism.
