In the wake of protests for racial justice in 2020, experiential faculty have focused on bringing in critical race theory and other critical perspectives to their teaching and casework. Panelists in this session will discuss how they have created opportunities in their clinical programs to explicitly engage with CRT and critical theory more broadly, through casework and interclinic courses. Attendees will learn how to engage with critical theory as a novice; how to apply theoretical frames to teaching, case rounds, supervision, and clinic matters; and challenges to implementation.
