Drawing from a qualitative semi structured interview format, this study aims to better understand and examine how the social work programme among universities in Sweden teach antiracist and/or other critical theories regarding race and racism to its students. Theories of colorblindness and critical whiteness are used to analyze empiricism; previous research from the field is also used to build a holistic understanding. The empiricism is based on eight racialized individuals: seven social work students and one newly graduated. The essay shows the students experiences regarding the critical anti racist practice and education varies little. All students, except one, did not have enough antiracist or race-centered theories that aimed to combat racism and build a better understanding of the dynamic power structures that can affect the social work praxis and outcome. The essay concludes that more work is needed in order to build better equipped social workers of the future that can combat racism in an antiracist social work manner.
