Anti-Racist and Multicultural Practices in Clinical Supervision

Overview

 Register Now for Anti-Racist and Multicultural Practices in Clinical Supervision

Two- Part Live Online CE Event
Friday, June 5, 2020 | 3:00–5:45pm
Monday, June 8, 2020 | 10:00am–3:15pm

NYSED and ASWB approved for 6 CE contact hours

Co-sponsored by:

Clinical supervision is an integral foundation for sound clinical practice. Supervision not only monitors the quality of professional services and encourages professional development of the individual, it advances the disciplines of social work and mental health counseling practice. As our grasp of cultural humility and the value of anti-oppressive work has expanded, supervision has grown to incorporate these factors while becoming increasingly sensitive to social and cross-cultural barriers in our effective supervisory practice. This conference considers how power dynamics and identity can influence individual and programmatic work through an anti-oppressive framework while also examining how cross-cultural supervision can lead to a productive and positive working alliance.

Learning Objectives

Participants will be able to:

  • Gain an understanding of multiculturalism and anti-oppressive practice and its impact on the supervisory relationship 
  • Identify the barriers and challenges of cross-cultural supervision in an agency environment

  • Navigate supervisory relationships when working with a supervisor or population of different social identities

Keynote Speaker

Kirk "Jae" James

Kirk "Jae" James, AA, BA, MSW, DSW
Clinical Assistant Professor of Social Work; NYU Silver School of Social Work

Kirk "Jae" James is a Clinical Assistant Professor at the NYU Silver School of Social Work. Dr. James has over a decade of leadership experience in various social justice settings, and is a highly sought out speaker and human rights advocate. He completed his doctorate from the School of Social Policy and Practice at The University of Pennsylvania in May 2013. His dissertation, “The Invisible Epidemic in Social Work Academia,” examined the complex phenomena of mass incarceration through a historical and contemporary lens. He concluded by developing curricula for Master level students to increase awareness, activism and holistic practice in the milieu. Courses developed from his dissertation have been implemented at Columbia University, Temple University, City College, and the University of Pennsylvania amongst others. Dr. James’s primary research and publications focus on deconstructing issues of mass incarceration –– specifically as it pertains to trauma, cognitive development, culpability, and the examination of systems that foster and perpetuate racial injustice.

Dr. James co-created NYU Silver's Re-imagine Justice conference on mass incarceration, reentry and trauma and their intersections and implications for social work practice. He also launched the Silver School’s Evolving Justice initiative, which aims to build community; co-create brave space; and facilitate dialogue towards the emancipatory exploration of justice in theory and action. In addition, he works collaboratively with the Center For Justice at Columbia University on its annual “Beyond The Bars” conference –– which brings impacted people together with academics, activists, policy makers, and practitioners from across the country to create a more informed understanding, and subsequent response to mass incarceration.facilitate various dialogue(s) towards the emancipatory exploration of justice in theory and action.
