#RadChat: Radical Practice 101

Are you radical curious?

Do you want ideas about how to be radical in your 9 to 5?

Do you want to hang out with other radical social workers?

In this #RadChat we will offer a critique of “professionalism;” discuss how social work has been a tool to maintain the status quo; and explore ways we can be radical when working in traditional settings.
