Abstract

Teaching about oppression from a position of privilege can be a challenging task. However, many social work educators come from multiple positions of privilege and must be able to teach about and serve as allies to social justice movements. The following narrative reflects my attempts to engage in this work with humility using my mistakes as catalysts for learning.
