How does the social work code of ethics overlap with cultural competence, diversity, equity and inclusion? The way that weight stigma, which is rooted in racism, contributes to oppression and inequality makes it a lens for exploring the intersections of marginalized identities. Cultural competence requires imagination to understand life experiences from multiple perspectives. Even with the best of intentions, we bring our own biases to the work that we do. Unexamined, unacknowledged weight stigma can result in inadvertent racism and classism. When we understand the origins of those biases, we can move past them into increasingly inclusive practice that more closely adheres to our professional ethics.
Social work practice, whether it is direct service, community organization, policy development or agency administration, should always strive for justice and the eradication of oppression and discrimination. In order to accomplish that, we must endeavor to understand and address the attitudes and dynamics in the dominant culture that lead to preconceptions and inadvertent assumptions in our own views. This workshop fulfills the requirements for ethics OR cultural competence/diversity equity and inclusion.
Participants will be able to:
Explain the relationship between racism and anti-fat bias
Describe three ways to make an agency practice more weight-neutral
Articulate four ways that the Code of Ethics applies to weight stigma
List three ways that neoliberalism and anti-fat bias impact public policy
