Abstract
Developing a conceptualization of the supervision relationship that can successfully encourage cultural relevancy and the pursuit of social justice is a challenge facing social workers today. We propose that a social constructionist perspective invites social work supervisors influenced by Euro-Western discourse to (1) seek understanding about differences rather than strive to achieve some preconceived notion of cultural competence, and (2) seek opportunities to advocate for cultural community “insiders” to develop their own configuration of social work supervision. Supervision examples from Aotearoa New Zealand are presented and discussed for potential transferability to other countries such as the United States and Canada.
