Using Mutual Help to Address Racism in Undergraduate Students
Apgar, Dawn
College Teaching, v70 n2 p227-236 2022
Cultural humility is a fundamental tenet of many professions and critical for graduating students as they enter their respective fields. Mutual help is an effective modality to assist with problems such as substance use, mental health, and grief. Though racism can be understood from a social psychological perspective, mutual help has not been tested as a method to address it. In an undergraduate social work program, mutual help was found to be effective in assisting students to understand their participation in perpetuating intentional and unintentional racism, despite their already high levels of anti-racism knowledge and advocacy. This approach may be an effective pedagogical tool for college educators in other disciplines and further research on using mutual help to address racist beliefs is needed.
