This book offers a roadmap to applying anti-oppressive theories, frameworks, and concepts to clinical social work supervision and leadership. It introduces anti-oppressive practice, Critical Race Theory, empowerment practice, transgender and critical gender studies, DEIPAR, critical Black studies, queer studies, and intersectionality, alongside other concepts. Offering practical guidance, reference, skill-building, and critical self-reflection tools, it is ideal for courses in social work supervision, leadership, diversity, and community practice as well as self-reference for practitioners. Structured to be easily referenced and adapted, this work also incorporates skill-building and reflection activities to promote interaction across different learning contexts.

‘A bold and necessary contribution, Decolonized Clinical Supervision and Leadership transforms social work practice through an unapologetic lens of anti-oppression and liberation. Dr. Currie and the book’s contributors offer critical tools, lived wisdom, and practical frameworks that inspire ethical, culturally responsive leadership rooted in justice, healing, and systemic change. A must-read.’

‘A timely and transformative resource, this text reimagines clinical supervision and leadership through a decolonial, anti-oppressive lens. It equips educators with critical tools and perspectives to advance liberatory teaching, reshape curriculum, and prepare the next generation of social workers for truly just and inclusive practice.’
