Presented by: Laurie Selz-Campbell 

Social workers’ participation in the eugenics movement from the early 1900s onward is well documented, and calls upon us to examine our profession’s complicity in upholding systems of oppression and profound harm. North Carolina, in particular, is notable for its decades-long support for eugenic practices, and for the direct involvement of social workers in the process. While eugenic sterilization is no longer legally sanctioned, narratives of “fitness”– and the sequestration and control of those who are deemed “unfit” – continue to pervade our clinical and programmatic discourses. This webinar will explore the social work profession’s eugenic legacy, and will identify present-day manifestations of the eugenic mindset, resulting in the continued targeting of those most marginalized and vulnerable. Participants will have opportunities for reflection, with the aim of deepening our commitments to upholding human dignity and self-determination.
