Abstract
Abstract A challenge for social work is how to teach this discipline in the first place. As social work emerges from a body of knowledge along with requisite degrees, it must confront ideas about pedagogy. If social work claims to be on the side of those oppressed, how do you teach in a way that does not replicate the same in the classroom? This is a similar conundrum that anarchism has faced. After all, if authority is rejected, what role does a teacher play? This chapter explores critical pedagogy along with attempts by anarchism to resolve a seeming paradox in education. While this chapter focuses on teaching social work, it has further application for students, as one role for social work is that of educating or providing education in the helping profession. This is a timely topic given the concerns of the neoliberal impact on education and the rise of uncritical right-wing populism.
