Critical Race Theory (CRT) is a unique analytic lens through which to examine and ultimately dismantle racism within United States society. CRT has been applied to a variety of contexts including education, therapy, and law. Little is known about the application of CRT to the field of social work. This paper aims to investigate the ways in which CRT has been applied to the field of social work. Utilizing major academic databases, the researcher identified 617 unique references. A total of 14 articles were included in this review following exclusion criteria and full-text review. This paper provides an overview of CRT and its potential to inform social work practice.
