No full textThis article specifically speaks to decolonizing within social work education and practice from an Indigenous Anishinaabe perspective. Social work is situated as a site for decolonizing education in response to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action. This article illustrates the context and development of an Indigenous-centred program with a goal of decolonizing social work education teaching and learning. It tells a story of the newly formed Centre for Indigegogy as a professional development site for de-colon-izing social work education. De-colon-izing is much like detoxing from all the toxins we ingest into our bodies. De-colon-izing is similar to detoxing and clearing out the colonizing knowledge and practices that we have ingested and adopted from colonial social work education. Decolonizing has to be wholistic in terms of detoxing our spirits, hearts, minds, and bodies (Absolon, 2016). This article explores the meaning and intention of decolonizing coupled with a call for action for all social work educators to pick up the theoretical work of learning and understanding the truth in the truth about colonization and its impact on both settler Canadians and Indigenous peoples (Freire, 2008; Memmi, 1965). The Centre for Indigegogy promotes critically reflexive practices of teaching and learning, steeped in Indigenous perspectives and anti-colonial knowledge, and offers certificates in decolonizing education and Indigenous education. This article highlights the programming of the Centre for Indigegogy and illustrates the transformative, uncomfortable, challenging, inspiring, and healing work that decolonizing education offers. The absence of any of these experiences raises the question: Is decolonizing really happening

Get PDFAfrican Caribbean Presence: Decolonizing Social Work Education 2019
No full textThe article discusses the decolonization of social work education from an intersectional African Caribbean lens in the context of ongoing colonization of Indigenous lands and peoples of Turtle Island (also known as North America). An African Caribbean approach to decolonizing social work education raises important questions about the need to attend to the maintenance of the humanity of people of African descent across the diaspora as we engage in this process and project of decolonizing social work education. A gap in social work literature addressing the knowledge, lived experience, and social realities of African Caribbean peoples can be attributed to the centralization of western values and ideas in social work education even as it critiques colonialism and anti-Black racism
