Anti-oppression is woven throughout the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) 2022 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS). The call to action is clear; how to engage can be challenging. How do we bring anti-oppressive practice (AOP) pedagogy alive in the classroom? This article aims to create space in which Social Work educators can join us in reflecting upon and interrogating our collective practices as we seek to answer the call of our guiding educational standards and ethics while also weighing the critiques. The classroom represents a place of powerful parallel process, wherein Social Work educators can model many of the same concepts and skills we hope to impart to our students. Building from the tradition of story-telling as a form of knowledge and deconstruction, we, the authors, draw upon our theoretical perspectives, clinical and educational experiences, and lessons learned from our processes of bringing AOP pedagogy into our classrooms. We offer a community of ideas and collective commitment to the conviction that through AOP and AOP pedagogy, social workers can work together to create a more just society, one which honors the dignity and worth of all individuals, fostering human rights and the opportunity for all individuals to thrive.
