Section 8: Critical Race Theory
From: Critical Social Work Praxis
$1.20
The author identifies the challenge that racism poses for social work as a profession with a stated commitment to social justice. Badwall argues that crt frames race as a social construction and racism as endemic and as an institutionally embedded social condition. Badwall argues that a crt lens and a commitment to bringing the counter-narratives of racialized peoples to the forefront of analysis can help us uncover the colonial foundations and the insidiousness of race thinking and racism within the social work profession.
