| Summary: | The last two decades have produced a variety of theoretical positions on race and power. This article presents an analysis of ‘identity’ in terms of how it has been conceptualized within the development of anti-racist social work education during this period. In doing such an analysis, I press for a more nuanced theorization of the relationship between race and identity, and argue that in order for anti-racist teaching to be meaningful and effective, conceptualizations of race must be temporal and contextual. I conclude by offering some questions for engaging with students in the development of a more critical understanding of identity.
