DESCRIPTION:Community forum for McGill School of Social Work - Thursday\, M
 arch 11\, 2021 - 5:30-7:30PM EDT\n\nFor many of us\, sunset is a time to h
 onour our day to express gratitude for the gifts that came forth\, gifts t
 hat Mother Earth provides. As the sun sets everyday\, we give thanks for t
 he day\, thanks for the lessons learned throughout our day. Lessons Learne
 d in Decolonization: Critical Reflections at Sunset is an invitation posed
  to each and every member of the McGill School of Social Work community\, 
 as social workers\, as helpers\, to come together\, visit virtually with e
 ach other\, and share what we have seen\, felt\, and experienced.\n\nWe ar
 e constantly reminded that we are living in unprecedented and uncertain ti
 mes. During these extended months of rapid and constant change\, we have b
 een teaching\, learning\, and practicing social work on Zoom. All the whil
 e\, ongoing local to global inequities and crises are brought to our atten
 tion\, including the persistent calls to address racism and commit to deco
 lonization. We started our Fall 2020 semester with a talk by Dr. Billie Al
 lan\, “On being a good relative: decolonial dreaming in social work educat
 ion.” Let us come together as we near the ending of the 2020-2021 school y
 ear and reflect on this call to dream decolonial futures for social work e
 ducation. Let us bring our minds together in a good way to look at what we
  have learned throughout this year and come towards a shared or collective
  vision for our school.\n\nWe invite members of the McGill School of Socia
 l Work (SSW) community to reflect on the following helper questions\, base
 d on where you are at:\n\n•What critical lessons and reflections have you 
 learned this year and what do you want to share?\n\n•What is your current 
 understanding of decolonization? What have you learned?\n\n•What are your 
 decolonial dreams for social work education?\n\n•What progress or success 
 have been made this year? What failures\, challenges\, barriers still rema
 in?\n\n•What actions and accountabilities do you ask of your peers\, colle
 agues\, and relatives in the McGill School of Social Work?\n\nIndeed\, as 
 a profession\, one of our principles of practice is self-reflection. Cente
 ring the need to be in relationship with each other\, this Community Forum
  creates a shared space to come together\, self-reflect and learn together
 \, so that we can unlearn the things that no longer serve our practice\, s
 chool\, and profession. Using circle methodology and critical self-reflect
 ion\, we will support small and whole group discussions to come towards a 
 vision for decolonizing social work education at McGill School of Social W
 ork.\n\nRegister at: https://mcgill.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwsdOmpqz0uG
