Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice
This workshop explores new perspectives on anti-oppressive practice by applying a “4D2P” framework that brings a simplified language to a dense set of topics. The 4D2P Framework focuses on the practices of Discuss, Discover, Decide and Disrupt (4D) to inform Social Work practice in the domains of Power and Privilege (2P). This innovative framework provides strategies for dealing with difficult issues, confronting systemic oppression, and working toward equity for people at risk of “othering” and social marginalization. Based on the popular book Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice.
