description: The United States of America has a long history of systematically oppressing women, members of the LGBTQ community, and racial and ethnic minorities. This institutionalized oppression can be seen in laws and policies. Institutional oppression is imposed by the dominant culture and perpetuates invisible barriers – often rooted in a particular set of values, identities, and beliefs – that limit members of marginalized identity groups. Oppressive consequences result from long-term policies, practices, and values that are a part of a social construct. Often, institutions themselves are oppressive even if the individuals maintaining those institutions do not have oppressive intentions. These invisible barriers exist today in social work education. Social work graduate programs and competency-based education must develop advanced critical thinking skills and a framework to deconstruct cultural norms. Doing so will better equip social workers to use culturally competent skills in practice.
