Framing CRT within cultural humility moves the field beyond the limitations of cultural competency, fostering critical self-reflection, lifelong learning, and power-conscious practice. This paper argues that embracing CRT through a cultural humility lens is a necessary step in decolonizing the social work curriculum, resisting political intimidation, and equipping future practitioners to dismantle systemic oppression. Social work cannot afford neutrality—it must be an active force for change. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
