Lessons Learned in Decolonization: Critical Reflections at Sunset
Community forum for 缅北强奸 School of Social Work - Thursday, March 11, 2021 - 5:30-7:30PM EDT
For many of us, sunset is a time to honour our day to express gratitude for the gifts that came forth, gifts that Mother Earth provides. As the sun sets everyday, we give thanks for the day, thanks for the lessons learned throughout our day. Lessons Learned in Decolonization: Critical Reflections at Sunset is an invitation posed to each and every member of the 缅北强奸 School of Social Work community, as social workers, as helpers, to come together, visit virtually with each other, and share what we have seen, felt, and experienced.
We are constantly reminded that we are living in unprecedented and uncertain times. During these extended months of rapid and constant change, we have been teaching, learning, and practicing social work on Zoom. All the while, ongoing local to global inequities and crises are brought to our attention, including the persistent calls to address racism and commit to decolonization. We started our Fall 2020 semester with a talk by Dr. Billie Allan, 鈥淥n being a good relative: decolonial dreaming in social work education.鈥� Let us come together as we near the ending of the 2020-2021 school year and reflect on this call to dream decolonial futures for social work education. Let us bring our minds together in a good way to look at what we have learned throughout this year and come towards a shared or collective vision for our school.
We invite members of the 缅北强奸 School of Social Work (SSW) community to reflect on the following helper questions, based on where you are at:
鈥hat critical lessons and reflections have you learned this year and what do you want to share?
鈥hat is your current understanding of decolonization? What have you learned?
鈥hat are your decolonial dreams for social work education?
鈥hat progress or success have been made this year? What failures, challenges, barriers still remain?
鈥hat actions and accountabilities do you ask of your peers, colleagues, and relatives in the 缅北强奸 School of Social Work?
Indeed, as a profession, one of our principles of practice is self-reflection. Centering the need to be in relationship with each other, this Community Forum creates a shared space to come together, self-reflect and learn together, so that we can unlearn the things that no longer serve our practice, school, and profession. Using circle methodology and critical self-reflection, we will support small and whole group discussions to come towards a vision for decolonizing social work education at 缅北强奸 School of Social Work.

Lighting the Fire: Social Work and Indigenous Land and Water Sovereignty
This teach-in follows the call by 缅北强奸 social work student, Codey Martin, for social work education to address the roles and responsibilities of the social work profession in relation to Indigenous land and water sovereignty in the face of violence against Indigenous land and water protectors across Turtle Island. Why and how should social work education address its responsibilities to Indigenous peoples and territories? How can social work students, educators and practitioners imagine, understand and practice decolonial solidarity with Indigenous land and water protectors?
