Item #ImmigrantRights #SWTwitterAdvocacy: Using Twitter as an advocacy platform in social work education(Taylor & Francis Online, 2021-08-25) Hasson III, Robert G.; Evans, Kerri; Siegel, JenniferThe Trump administration’s immigration policies, over the course of four years, repeatedly conflicted with social work ethical principles, resulting in family separation and pervasive fear in immigrant communities throughout the US. The ethical principles of the social work profession are reflected in social work education competencies, including engaging in policy practice to advance justice. Using immigration policies as context, this paper provides details of a classroom activity that teaches social work students how to use Twitter to engage in advocacy and policy practice. Guided by experiential learning theory, the classroom activity can inform future pedagogical advancements in social work education.
