Urban silos
Living at or near poverty can be isolating for individuals and their families. Using the ecological perspective with emphasis on transactions across systems, we examine the social and community capital of urban, low-income individuals to understand the broader terrain that shapes and is shaped by some of their choices, and suggest the implications that our findings might have for anti-poverty initiatives. Data are from interviews with 181 urban r…
Precarious Professionals
Forty years of neoliberal policies and protocols, such as privatization, austerity measures, and managerialism, has pushed the U.S. human service sector to the brink of collapse.

Specific attention is paid to the untenable working conditions of professional frontline staff, who are tasked with providing much needed programs and services to often vulnerable…

One of those, participatory grantmaking, comprises practices that range from soliciting feedback from constituents to encouraging their active participation in or control over grantmaking decisions, pro…
Does Social Work Ignore Socio-economic Class? An Exploratory Analysis of Selected Literature
Social work espouses a commitment to social justice, including advocating on behalf of economically disenfranchised populations. This article explores the question of whether this commitment is reflected in selected leading social work journals. A keyword search in Social Work abstracts, a content analysis of three core social work journals, and a secondary thematic analysis of articles in those journals were conducted. The keyword analysis focus…
Does Contingency Work in Human Service Agencies Compromise Practice and Practice Ethics
The use of contingency workers has increased in the human service sector though the consequences of this labour arrangement have not been examined. This article reports findings from an exploratory study in which 15 human service workers employed on a contingency basis were interviewed regarding their choices and the consequences of their jobs. Two broad research questions guide discussion and analysis: (1) how do current contingent workers descr…
Charisma, collectives, and commitment
The primary goal of this article is to add to the literature on the role of social movement organizations in facilitating movement involvement and activism. Using Weber’s definition of domination and delineation of ideal types of social action as starting points, my specific focus is on those SMOs that exhibit authority that is situated in the whole (collective) and manifests an extra-ordinary (charismatic) hold on the members/followers. I sugges…
Ethical Dilemmas in Human Service Management
Human service managers are called on to make a variety of difficult decisions that often involve fundamental conflicts in values. Such conflicts constitute ethical dilemmas. This qualitative exploratory study examines how human service managers (N = 40), from the United States, identify and resolve ethical dilemmas. The dilemmas identified by the managers tended to result in the restriction of missions, programs, services and practice methods. Th…
Does Attitudinal Consensus Lead to Neighborhood Collaboration? An Exploratory Analysis of an Urban Community
This article examines whether high levels of attitudinal consensus on community needs and civic responsibilities among a community's residents are associated with effective collaborative efforts among that community's neighborhood associations. Drawing upon both quantitative and qualitative data from an evaluation of an umbrella organization in an urban community, the authors found only a weak connection between attitudinal consensus, which was s…

Political ideologies of social workers
This article explores relationships between social workers' political ideologies and the effects on practice. Self-administered surveys from 294 licensed social workers in a mid-Atlantic state generated quantitative and qualitative data on whether and to what extent their ideologies influenced professional practice. Findings suggest that while social workers largely believe that their political ideology is separate from their practice, those who …
The Influence of Sociocultural Factors on Organ Donation and Transplantation in Korea
Although brain death was formally recognized in Korea in 2000 for the purpose of organ donation, traditional Confucian-based thought still prevails. The aim of this study was to explore sociocultural perspectives that influence health professionals’ attitudes and perceptions regarding organ donation. Semistructured interviews were conducted with nine key informants from three major hospitals providing transplant services in South Korea. Several t…

The authors discuss the challenges to multicultural learning and the developmental phases of students. The ways in which these developmental stages shape multicultural learning are examined. Implications for course placement, content, and student eva…
Diversity Climates in Human Service Agencies
This article focuses on “diversity climates” of human service agencies. An organization's diversity climate is comprised of both the degree of member heterogeneity and efforts to promote and sustain an environment conducive to maximizing the benefits of that heterogeneity. Data are from diversity audits conducted in 161 nonprofit and public human service agencies that provide health/mental health, welfare, child/adolescent, educational, and commu…

The benefits district solicited assistance from the authors, with the caveat that district members not be involved in the data collec…
Gendered Perceptions of Community Needs and Concerns
Acentral tenet of feminism is that women engage in community practice differently than men. This study explores whether gender differences exist in perceptions of community needs, strengths, problems and responsibilities. Also examined are differences within male and female groups along the dimensions of race, location, years at current address and ownership status. This analysis is based on survey responses from 191 residents in one urban commun…
Does Gender Matter? Male and Female Participation in Social Work Classrooms
On the basis of a survey of 264 participants and 8 follow-up focus groups with 44 total participants, this analysis considers why male and female students may censor themselves in classroom discussions and what solutions there are to this diminished participation. The survey revealed few statistically significant differences based on gender. However, when significant differences occurred, they reinforced stereotypical gender behavior among women.…

A Feminist Response to Rothman's ''The Interweaving of Community Intervention Approaches
This paper critiques Jack Rothman's ''The Interweaving of Community Intervention Approaches'' (this volume) from a feminist perspective. A feminist version of his intervention typology, using a wide range of exemplars, is constructed. It suggests the scope of feminism not recognized in his account. Discussion centers on the construction of this feminist typology, which illuminates problems inherent in a categorical approach to community practice,…

The Hybrid Nonprofit
The analysis of nonprofits tends to characterize these organizations as either bureaucratic organizations or voluntary grassroots associations. In this article, feminist social movement organizations (FSMOs) are examined in order to illustrate the hybrid nature of nonprofits. The six FSMOs all began as voluntary grassroots associations, yet changed in varying ways over the years. To illustrate these changes, the FSMOs are compared on three dimens…

Experiences of Women Activists
The field of community organizing would be wise to heed the words of Abigail Adams to her revolutionary husband, John. Contributions of women activists have been virtually ignored by the field of social work. Consequently, social work has a diminished knowledge base and has alienated large numbers of talented women. Ironically, both the past and the future of community organizing are tied intimately with the action of women. Foremothers include J…
