The CSWE Track Meeting is intended to be a networking space for track members and an opportunity for new members to engage with the track. 

Every year Track Chairs complete the “Annual Conference Track Meeting Form”. 

In this form, Track Chairs will choose between hosting a virtual Track Meeting in October or an in-person Track Meeting at the Annual Conference. 

If Track Chairs choose to host a virtual Track Meeting, we ask that you provide the date and Zoom link (see below). 

If Track Chairs choose to host in-person at the Annual Conference, CSWE will schedule their Track Meeting between Friday – Sunday.

CSWE will share your specific Track Meeting Schedule in the Spring. 

Join the CSWE Center for Diversity, Social & Economic Justice in one of two ways:

Share Social Media Content

Have you viewed content that has moved you? Does it address a particular competency, either broadly or very specifically? Please share the content and source(s) of that content with us so we can amplify it in hopes that it will be of equal or more benefit to others.

Participate in a Zoom interview/conversation

Participate in a Zoom interview to address how diversity is showing up in your life. We will use clips from those interviews as microcontent to share on CSWE social media.

The CSWE Center for Diversity, Social & Economic Justice website will showcase the best multimedia and social media content to facilitate a deep appreciation of diversity within social work education, practice and research. Along with written resources, there is increasing reliance by students, educators, researchers and practitioners on multimedia content to both understand and convey various elements of social work education, research and policy. 

Your voice matters! Your views matter! We are interested in hearing from you directly – this will be original content. The goal is to share original content widely as well as amplifying vetted publicly available content that promotes diversity, especially in the context of the nine competencies. Original content will include microcontent taken from 10-15min Zoom conversations. In addition, we may plan Instagram (IG) live sessions during the APM or other CSWE convened gatherings, with short conversations about various aspects of diversity. These conversations could center around specific themes, for example an upcoming APM, on specific themed months like Black history (February), social work (March), mental health awareness, AAPI, and women’s history (May), pride (June), Hispanic heritage (Sep-Oct), domestic violence and disability awareness (October), and Native American heritage month (Nov), for example.  

Through CSWE’s social media accounts, including Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, Center content will reach a diverse audience. Each post will utilize hashtags related to the specific content in addition to #CSWEDiversityCenter, #socialwork and #oneCSWE. In addition  to the original content we will create, have you viewed content that has moved you? Does it address a particular competency, either broadly or very specifically? 

Please share the source(s) of that content with us so we can amplify it in hopes that it will be of equal or more benefit to others. 

The CSWE Center for Diversity, Social & Economic Justice website will be dynamic, a go to destination for lively, respectful, stimulating dialog about what diversity means to students, educators, researchers and practitioners. 

Your voice matters. Your journey matters. This is your opportunity to submit short blog entries, ranging between 400-500 words. 

The aim of this exercise in meaning making and meaning sharing is to elicit entries addressing how diversity can be manifested in each of the nine competencies. Which vantage point reflects your journey? Are you able to speak to intersectionality, addressing either identity or experience or both, with regards to oppression or privilege? Select one or more competencies. Address the various aspects of diversity as stated in the 2022 EPAS (p. 9 and p. 16), including but not limited to age, caste, class, color, culture, disability and ability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity and expression, generational status, immigration status, legal status, marital status, political ideology, race, nationality, religion/spirituality, sex, sexual orientation, and tribal sovereign status. Blog entries could include personal reflections, research and practice notes, and lessons learned in the classroom. 

Remember, this is your journey and we hope it inspires others to broaden their own understanding of experiences with privilege, power, alienation, oppression, marginalization, poverty, and outright discrimination. 

One of the challenges associated with trying to convey the letter and spirit of each Educational Policy and Accreditation Standard (EPAS) social work competency is the lack of readily available literature, particularly as it relates to the various forms of diversity. 

Here is your opportunity to contribute towards a section on the Center website that allows for the showcasing of existing peer-reviewed articles, book chapters, books, research reports, and other written resources. 

Examine the nine competencies – pick one or two or all and use the online form to share a resource, along with just a couple sentences to justify the inclusion of that source. What specific benefit did you derive from that resource that may help others to appreciate the depth and breadth of that competency? How does that resource address knowledge, skills and values particularly with regards to promoting diversity and mastering that competency? 

The goal is to provide students, educators, researchers and practitioners access to the state-of-the-art literature to vivify each of the competencies.

Thank you for your interest in creating a curricular guide as part of the EPAS Curricular Guide Resource Series. Curricular Guides are used as an educational resource in various settings, particularly in the classroom. Please read the following guidelines to understand the curricular guide development process. 

Curricular Guides are created jointly with Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) staff and task force participants, led by two co-chairs and nine competency chairs. Task force members can be selected by CSWE staff and co-chairs or by an open call. Task force participants may include CSWE members, social work professionals, and/or interdisciplinary professionals. 

Each guide takes approximately one year to create with copyediting, printing, and promotion of the guide completed by CSWE. Curricular Guides are grant-funded, costing approximately $45,000- $50,000 to produce. CSWE recommends proposers identify or already have a funding source; CSWE may supplement additional grant sources on a case-by-case basis. 

Use this form to propose a curricular guide. CSWE administration will review the form and contact you within 2 weeks of review.
