Description

The wide ranging defintions and conceptualizations of cultural competence has led many to question its relevancy for addressing structural problems. This paper critiques cultural competence and cultural humility from a social work perspective, arguing that in this context, the fundamental ideas of cultural humility are foundational principles of anti-oppressive social work practice and education rather than being a new construct. As such, instead of abandoning cultural competence, it should be adapted so that it is more relevant in working with diversity and difference.
