In this session, we will explore various ways that society, our histories, and lived experiences construct stereotypes about the groups we do not belong to, as well as groups to which we do belong. This will allow us to interrogate the ways stereotypes operate on multiple levels, including within social work practice.

Participants will learn about the ways stereotypes are reflected in our emotional, behavioral, and social responses to others. We will also unpack the relationship between stereotypes, identity, power, ideologies, and forms of oppression and explore relevant connections to social work practice.

This workshop will deepen participants’ understanding of the impacts of different forms of stereotypes using reflective exercises, small group dialogue, and action-oriented planning for their personal development and professional practice.

With this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Learn definition, features, and functions of stereotypes
• Identify different forms of stereotypes
• Identify connections between stereotypes and power, identity, ideologies, and forms of oppression
• Identify relevant connections to personal development and social work practice
• Identify strategies to counter stereotypes
