Workshop Description:

In the narrative of social justice advocacy, social workers encounter a pivotal juncture, guided by Critical Race Theory (CRT) to decolonize practice. How can we address ingrained racism and oppression in our care systems with cultural humility to advocate for a fairer society? This query propels us towards reshaping advocacy for justice, equity, inclusion, and belonging through collective community practice.

Presenter: Dr. Melissa K. McCollister is an Assistant Professor of Social Work at Minnesota State University, Mankato, with over two decades of LGBTQ+ advocacy. As a white ally dedicated to addressing systemic racism affecting the BIPOC community, she focuses on holding herself and others with privilege and power accountable, while actively promoting racial and social justice within social work practice. Prior to academia, she worked in behavioral health and juvenile justice, and her teaching covers macro social work, administration and leadership, research, social policy, and trauma-informed practice. Her research emphasizes community capacity building, emotional intelligence, and advancing equity for LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.
