Three Black faculty members (i.e., two tenure track Black women faculty and one tenured Black
male faculty) recapitulate their experiences through the conceptual frames of four fundamental
critical race theory (CRT) tenets: the permanence of racism, interest convergence,
intersectionality, and majoritarian narratives) to elucidate further how social work students,
colleagues, and administration at Historically white Institutions (HWI) demonstrate antiblackness through acts of incivility. We argue the expectation that all social work students,
colleagues, and administration will “demonstrate ethical and professional behavior" (CSWE,
2015) toward Black faculty is deceptively illusory. Given our acute awareness of anti-blackness
within white social work education, we felt compelled to voice how such “ethical and
professional expectations” have not aligned with the realities of our shared experiences. With
this in mind, we sought to explore through usage of the above CRT tenets how it has negatively
impacted our ability to model professional values and ethical standards set by the NASW Code
of Ethics (2018) in our respective institutions. We offer readers our conclusions and implications
for social work education and practice.
