NASW-CA is a proud sponsor of Critical Race Scholars in Social Work’s (CRSSW) 3rd Annual Convening which will be held virtually on November 4-5, 2022! This year’s theme, Staying in the Game Through Collective Resistance and Healing, is a call for social workers and like-minded folks to share space, build community, and celebrate the work being done in our communities.
Keynote speaker, Dr. Monique Constance-Huggins, is a trailblazer and leader who has written foundational pieces in critical race theory’s application to social work. She continues to stay true to advancing critical race theory in social work and we are excited to hear her speak to the convening theme.
One of the commonly asked questions about critical race theory is: “what does it look like in practice?” The panel will explore how three amazing praxitioners embody CRT in their practice even without explicitly naming it in their work. They will share themes that inform their work and how they operate from a different framework that is traditionally taught. This is an opportunity to celebrate the work they are doing and to learn and grow together all while making the connection to the critical race tenets.
Join us on November 4 & 5, 2022 from 10:30am-2:30pm PDT. The deadline to register is November 3, 2022.

About CRSSW
The Critical Race Scholars in Social Work (CRSSW) collective was formed to provide a space for social work faculty, students, and practitioners to engage in the praxis of Critical Race Theory (CRT). Originating in legal studies, CRT has provided a relevant, social justice-oriented framework for research, theory, pedagogy, and practice in social work. Members of CRSSW center race in their work, consider intersectionality of oppression, embrace counter-narratives and develop innovative methods for self-critique, empowerment, and community building to inspire and facilitate social change and transformative justice.
