In this article, the authors introduce a new conceptual tool, intimate technology, to mobilize social work students' commitment to anti-racism. Intimate technology is marked by its emotional intensity and accessibility, and its effect of de-centering knowledge and authority. This teaching strategy integrates the modality of intimate technology via selected YouTube videos and the content of anti-racism and racism, illustrated through a lesson plan based on Hurricane Katrina. A qualitative analysis of students' responses revealed that intimate technology enabled the students to relate to a variety of peoples' responses to, and experiences of, racism, through images, personal stories, and music.
