Like many countries, Ireland has become increasingly ethnically diverse in recent decades, and this diversity is now present among the student social work population.

This paper comprises a reflective account of my experience of teaching about race, racism and anti-racism on a postgraduate social work programme in Ireland. The paper examines the challenges involved in such teaching—for both myself and for the students—with particular attention paid to the challenges that Black and Ethnic Minority students in a predominantly white classroom may experience. In this paper, I discuss my attempts to address these challenges by moving toward a 'Students as Partners' approach. I explore my experiences in this regard, drawing attention to the potential of working in partnership with students in this complex area of teaching. The paper argues that such an approach is compatible with social work's ethos and deserving of more attention by social work educators as they navigate the challenges of teaching about race and racism. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
