Abstract: The perspective of faculty who teach diversity is a missing yet crucial component in existing social work education literature. This qualitative study used in-depth interviews to explore the experiences of 13 undergraduate social work faculty members teaching diversity content in their programs. Participants were asked to describe their definition of diversity, how they implement diversity curriculum, whether they examine their own experiences of diversity, and how they addressed students' and their own intersectionality. Findings from in-depth, semistructured interviews show three emerging meaning units: facilitating diversity, managing intersectionality, and faculty self-reflection. Firsthand accounts of faculty lived experiences can help inform best teaching approaches and how to move students from culturally competent to culturally humble rooted in anti-racist social work practice.
