This book offers a roadmap to applying anti-oppressive theories, frameworks, and concepts to clinical social work supervision and leadership practice. It introduces anti-oppressive practice, Critical Race Theory, empowerment practice, transgender and critical gender studies, DEI/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 a variety of 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.’

‘Dr. Currie’s book is a powerful and necessary contribution to the field of social work. Decolonized Clinical Supervision and Leadership challenges us to confront the systems, structures, and practices we often take for granted and invites us to imagine something better- something just, equitable, and rooted in care and community. It is a blueprint for the future of social work leadership. If you care about disrupting harmful systems, empowering new voices, and leading with authenticity, this book is for you. Dr. Currie has given our profession a gift. And for those of us committed to liberatory leadership, it is a call to action.’
