Anti-racism and equity-mindedness in social work field education: a systematic review

ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is for schools of social work to critically evaluate their Field Education Programs for practices that impede anti-racist and equity-minded learning environments. This systematic review synthesizes the literature over the last decade to examine literature that may assist with field education evaluation. After reviewing the literature, five studies were located that addressed anti-racism within social work education; however, zero evaluative tools were located. Therefore, the authors have compiled a series of evaluative questions, as part of an initial evaluative tool, in the critical examination of anti-racist and equity-mindedness in their field education departments.
