What People Are Saying

“These are the CEs we all need! Doin’ The Work instructors are excellent facilitators of difficult conversations about racism, whiteness, white supremacy, privilege and oppression and the impact on social work practice. The course I took with them allowed me to examine my White identity, further develop my critical pedagogy and deepen my understanding of these topics. Every social worker should take these courses!”

- Kim R.
PARTICIPANT

“I literally learned more in the courses I took with Doin’ The Work than I did in my university’s American & Social Work history class. They offer ENGAGING content that centers the lived experiences of marginalized identities while providing practical tools on how to engage in social justice, resistance & liberation in daily Social Work practice. Being able to learn from Shimon and Charla has forced me to explore and commit to concrete ways of living that authentically reflect activism, scholarship & solidarity in my community. If you have the opportunity to engage with these courses, I highly recommend it to you.”
