  • Governing Through Punishment

    Open Access•Stéphanie Wahab, Katie Shammel•ARTICLE•Affilia•2026

    Feminist social work has long engaged sex work and its related issues and concerns, largely through discursive and practice arenas. Less present in social work specific scholarship is a focus on policy frameworks in the United States for managing and regulating sex work. This pilot study employed an exploratory qualitative design to examine sex work policy, specifically the impacts of the criminalization of sex work on people in the sex trades in…

  • Mapping the Landscape of Trauma-Informed Care in Social Work

    Open Access•Sandra M Leotti, Stéphanie Wahab•ARTICLE•Trauma Violence & Abuse•2025

    Trauma-informed care (TIC) has gained significant traction in social work over the last decade, becoming a key organizing principle despite a dearth of empirical evidence attesting to its effectiveness. Addressing this paradox, our scoping review examines TIC’s conceptualization and application in the field, exploring its theoretical underpinnings and empirical support. We analyzed 131 peer-reviewed articles from 2012 to 2022, following Arksey an…

  • Oxygen is not for the dead”

    Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian, Stéphanie Wahab et al.•ARTICLE•Critical and Radical Social Work•2025

    Palestinian poet and novelist Hiba Abu Nada, who was killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza on October 20, 2023, at the age of 32, taught us that “Oxygen is not for the dead.” Hiba Abu Nada’s (2017) poem, entitled “Our Loneliness,”1 recognizes survivance (Vizenor, 2010)—that is, the active sense of presence and presencing as an endeavor of creating the future (Simpson, 2017)—and asserts Palestinian embodied connections (Shalhoub-Kevorkian, 2024) …

  • Social work in times of genocide

    Stéphanie Wahab•ARTICLE•Critical and Radical Social Work•2025

    The abstract is translated in Arabic below. Social work cannot meaningfully claim a commitment to justice, human dignity, and the worth of people while simultaneously remaining committed to colonial logics. Recognizing and resisting collusion with settler colonialism demands structural shifts in knowledge production, curriculum, practice, and institutional alignment. This article speaks to organized social work’s collusion with the zionist projec…

  • Nuance as Praxis for Teaching About Mandated Reporting

    Open Access•Grace Pappas, Sam Harrell et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Teaching in Social Work•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 3

    As social work instructors, we have observed students increasingly wanting to engage in critical conversations about mandated reporting. Few resources are available to support instructors in facilitating these conversations. This teaching note offers content and lesson plans for exploring mandated reporting as a moral duty, a harm, an ethical dilemma, and a legal mandate in the classroom. Together, these pedagogical tools can help instructors emb…

  • Pandemic possibilities

    Kevin M Cherry, Sandra M Leotti et al.•ARTICLE•Social Work Education•2023

    Over the last decade we have witnessed increasingly critical appraisals of neoliberalism among social work researchers, educators, and practitioners across the globe. There is growing awareness that neoliberal ideology and its manifestation in institutional arrangements constitute major barriers to social, political and economic justice. However, awareness and critique must always be accompanied by affirmative visions of transformation. We believ…

  • Slow scholarship for social work

    Open Access•Stéphanie Wahab, Gita R Mehrotra et al.•ARTICLE•Qualitative Social Work•2022

    Expediency, efficiency, and rapid production within compressed time frames represent markers for research and scholarship within the neoliberal academe. Scholars who wish to resist these practices of knowledge production have articulated the need for Slow scholarship—a slower pace to make room for thinking, creativity, and useful knowledge. While these calls are important for drawing attention to the costs and problems of the neoliberal academy, …

  • Feminist Except for Palestine

    Open Access•Nadera Shalhoub‐kevorkian, Nadera Shalhoub-Kevorkian et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2022•Cited by: 6•References: 16

    Despite international social work commitments to social justice, human dignity, and individual worth, feminist social work remains silent on Palestine. Israeli settler colonial violence pushes us to revisit our responsibilities to stand against colonized militarism. We insist that collective liberation is a feminist ethical constant, a political bosom for decolonization, a compass for critical feminist social work. In this article, we extend prev…

  • From Exceptionalism to Relationality

    Open Access•Sam Harrell, Sid P Jordan et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 5

    This manuscript responds to recent directives in Texas that would define the facilitation or provision of gender-affirming medical treatment for minors as “child abuse.” Specifically, we focus on the use of these directives to widen the scope of mandatory reporting laws. We briefly discuss the politics of mandatory reporting and the strategic appropriation of feminist, anti-violence narratives. We then critically analyze social work resistance to…

  • The Case for Mandatory Reporting as an Ethical Dilemma for Social Workers

    Open Access•Sam Harrell, Stéphanie Wahab•ARTICLE•Advances in Social Work•2022•Cited by: 2

    Mandatory reporting of child abuse is a part of the civil legal system that can activate a policy cascade disproportionately criminalizing racialized and marginalized communities. While social work scholarship has explored ways to increase provider compliance with mandatory reporting laws, there is a dearth of research focused on how social work education guides future providers towards the praxis of mandatory reporting discourses. This article p…

  • Resistance and Submission

    Stéphanie Wahab, Gita R Mehrotra et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Progressive Human…•2021•Cited by: 2•References: 8

    Domestic violence work typically happens within the confines of significant macro forces that shape most social work practice, including but not limited to neoliberalism, criminalization and professionalization. Using the concept of professional resistance, we discuss and present our case study research that sought to understand how these intersecting macro forces shape domestic violence advocacy training in Oregon. House Bill (HB) 3476 establish…

    Open Access•Rupaleem Bhuyan, Stéphanie Wahab et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2019•Cited by: 5•References: 2

    In this editorial, we consider what climate action would mean for the social work profession. The urgency to address climate change compels social work practitioners, educators, and researchers to embrace a vision of social work that is committed to restoring human well-being and the natural world

  • Feeding the Scyborgs in Social Work

    Open Access•Stéphanie Wahab, Rupaleem Bhyuan et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 9

    Social work has experienced long-standing tensions between care and control since its inception. As shifting moral, social, political, intellectual, and market forces have historically shaped social work agendas and practices, so have feminists through politics, research, teaching, and praxis. While radical and critical social work has frequently pushed back against oppressive systems and movements, social work and feminist social work frequently…

    Objective: This study developed and tested a student-report measure of motivational interviewing (MI) teaching quality called the Evaluation of Motivational Interviewing Teaching (EMIT) scale. Method: Social work students (N = 297) receiving course content on motivational interviewing completed the EMIT, and exploratory factor analysis investigated whether theory-based dimensions of teaching emerged as EMIT subscales, including: interactivity/ski…

  • Build a friendship with them”

    Open Access•G Abel, Stéphanie Wahab•ARTICLE•Child & Family Social Work•2017•Cited by: 1•References: 7

    Young people in statutory care and protection interact with social workers, who hold potential to provide a supportive adult role in their lives. Many however, run away at an early age and end up on the street trading sex for money or other favours. There is potential to improve outcomes for young people in care if the relationship between young people and their social workers is better addressed. This paper uses data from a qualitative study of …

    Islamophobia describes the racism, exploitation, and violence experienced by Arabs, individuals of Arab descent, and Muslims. Although social workers are meant to challenge social injustice, social work codes of ethics and the literature are without guidance for unlearning Islamophobia. Arguing that one’s ability to interrupt Islamophobia is strengthened by an understanding of the historical record and theoretical tenets of Orientalism, we offer …

  • Can an Academic Journal Promote Radical Scholarship

    Open Access•Yoosun Park, Rupaleem Bhuyan et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2017•Cited by: 1

    The article discusses the journal's aspiration to publish radical scholarship which pushes the edges of received knowledge in social work. Topics covered include the need for career advancement for job security, the criticism received by quantitative metrics used to account for productivity and the problematic academic structures which are antithetical to the passions of academic social work

    Open Access•Yoosun Park, Stéphanie Wahab et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2017•Cited by: 7•References: 1

    The author describes the history and present developments in "Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work." Topics discussed include concerns over the state of feminism and women's rights in the U.S. since the 2016 presidential elections, the role of "Affilia" in promoting feminism as part of social work research since its launch in 1986, and the need for a radical epistemological inquiry in the feminist social work research

This article presents the findings of a qualitative study focused on social workers’ perceptions of sex work/ers, the PRA, and its influence on practice with individuals in the sex industry. The findings suggest that social workers hold nuanced perspectives on sex work. While decriminali…

    This article details an autoethnography project of our odysseys into the pedagogy of unlearning racism. Our know ledge creation process forced us to re-envision both our locations in, and pedagogy of, anti-racism work, with particular attention to the challenges and dangers of teaching about, to, and from White privilege within social work. In the end, we are both troubled and invigorated by what we experienced, witnessed, and supported. By askin…

    This article reflexively engages substantive, epistemological, methodological, and ethical issues that surfaced during a feminist, qualitative, and participatory research project with 6 adult female sex workers in Seattle, Washington. Given the intersubjective researcher-participant relationship within participatory forms of inquiry, personal and professional roles and boundaries were often obscure, fluid, and minimally defined. Consequently, iss…

Providers should develop a greater appreciation of the effects of racism on depression care. Depression care programs should address issues of violence, substance use, and racism

  • Ethical and Human Rights Issues in Coercive Interventions With Sex Workers

    Open Access•Stéphanie Wahab, Meg Panichelli•ARTICLE•Affilia•2013•Cited by: 29•References: 1

    Sex work reemerged as a spotlight issue within feminist arenas in the 1960s. The interest in ‘‘prostitution’’ reform during the 1960s came about in much the same way it had in the past, that is, it rode on the coattails of other social movements (Hobson, 1987). As the civil rights movement led a heightened awareness of all human rights, individuals began to protest governmental interference in private sexual acts. Civil libertarian lawyers and fe…

    Social work as an academic discipline has long included women and gender as central categories of analysis; the social work profession, started and maintained largely by women, has been home to several generations of feminists.

    Open Access•Stéphanie Wahab, Meg Panichelli•ARTICLE•Affilia•2013•Cited by: 29•References: 1

    Sex work reemerged as a spotlight issue within feminist arenas in the 1960s. The interest in ‘‘prostitution’’ reform during the 1960s came about in much the same way it had in the past, that is, it rode on the coattails of other social movements (Hobson, 1987). As the civil rights movement led a heightened awareness of all human rights, individuals began to protest governmental interference in private sexual acts. Civil libertarian lawyers and fe…

    This article details an autoethnography project of our odysseys into the pedagogy of unlearning racism. Our know ledge creation process forced us to re-envision both our locations in, and pedagogy of, anti-racism work, with particular attention to the challenges and dangers of teaching about, to, and from White privilege within social work. In the end, we are both troubled and invigorated by what we experienced, witnessed, and supported. By askin…

  • Undoing Islamophobia

    Elizabeth Beck, Moon Charania et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Progressive Human…•2017•Cited by: 2•References: 7
