Epistemic Pluralism, Open Inquiry, and Constructive Disagreement: Strengthening the 2029 Epas
Response to Comment on Distortion, Distraction, and Disservice. A Critical Response to the Backlash Against Anti-Racism, Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Social Work Education
The Dystopian World of Social Work Education
A social work insider explains that social justice doctrine, Critical Race Theory, and the attendant collapse of academic standards has become even more widely and deeply entrenched within social work academe than when the NAS last reported on this subject in 2019. Today these creeds are “enforced aggressively by institutionally internal and external, formal and informal sources of professional authority.”

Essential and Neglected: Transforming Classroom Learning through Relationship
Features of the academic context of social work education threaten the loss of traditional educational attention to relational capacity, an indispensable condition for all forms of social work practice and thus a necessary priority for professional education. We argue that the development of relational capacity should occur in classroom as well as in field settings. We propose a conceptual framework for relational classroom teaching that draws on…
Where do they learn violence? The roles of three forms of violent socialization in childhood
Special Issue: Adolescent Pregnancy: Past, Present and Future Trends and Issues
The dramatic overall decrease in rates of pregnancies and births to American teenagers over the last few decades should be counted among contemporary success stories in systematic efforts to reduce bio-psychosocial risks to youth.[...]
Prevalence and Factors Associated with Teen Pregnancy in Vietnam: Results from Two National Surveys

The study utilized Vietnam Survey Assessment of Vietnamese Youth surveys conducted in 2003 and 2008 to answer the two research questions within the context of fast political, economic, and social change in Vietnam in the last two deca…

Perceived Difficulty of Performing Selected HIV/Aids Preventive Behaviors and Life Satisfaction: Is there a Relationship for African American Adolescents
Marital Quality and Self-Efficacy: Influence on Disease Management among Individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) struggle to maintain improved functional ability and reduced pain levels. Health education emphasizing self-efficacy helps individuals to adjust with the disease outcome and progression. As a basis to develop comprehensive evidence-based patient education programs, the aim of the study was to examine the role of marriage as a predictor of pain and functional self-efficacy among individuals with RA. Revie…
Violence in the Lives of Rural, Southern, and Poor White Women
Poor White single mothers and their children in non-urban communities in the American South experience high levels of domestic violence. We report selected findings from a life history study among White, low-income, unmarried mothers in South Carolina. Here, we examine how domestic violence in both childhood and adulthood may inhibit asset development by diminishing low-income single mothers' accumulation of human and social capital, thus comprom…
The Not-So-Good News about Teenage Pregnancy
First Train Out: Marriage and Cohabitation in the Context of Poverty, Deprivation, and Trauma
There has been a steep rise in the proportion of children born to and living with unmarried parents. Unmarried parents are increasingly likely to cohabitate, especially low-income couples, placing their children at elevated psychosocial risk. This life history study of poor, White single mothers suggests that the current focus on differences between married and cohabiting poor women may overstate underlying similarities in factors associated with…
Examining Interactions of Marriage and Self-Efficacy Beliefs of Individuals with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Conceptual Framework
The systemic and chronic nature of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) impacts functional and emotional health of the individuals including marital, family, and work responsibilities. Due to the costs and side effects of drugs, proponents of arthritis management advocate for examining psychosocial factors that improve the disease management of RA. In this paper, we propose that marital quality is associated with perceived self-efficacy among individuals wi…
Kin Networks and Poverty among African Americans: Past and Present
Trends in social welfare policy and programs place increasing expectations on families to provide members with various forms of material and socioemotional support. The historic ability of kin networks of many African Americans to provide such support has been compromised by long-term community and family poverty. The potential mismatch between the expectations of social welfare systems for kin support and the actual functional capacities of kin …
Chicks Aren’t Chickens: Women, Poverty, and Marriage in an Orthodoxy of Conservatism
This article describes the marital and domestic violence experiences of poor women in South Carolina in the context of an orthodoxy of conservatism. Drawing on Bourdieu’s scholarship, the authors present a conceptual framework that is based on the concepts of habitus, orthodoxy, and heterodoxy. The interpretation of the qualitative and quantitative data connects the observed behavioral phenomena with the structural, cultural, and political factor…

Transmission of Family Values, Work, and Welfare among Poor Urban Black Women
Life histories of poor urban Black women indicate that intrafamilial transmission of values about work and welfare is associated with young adult work status and perceptions about future economic self-sufficiency. Multifaceted transmissions in the form of direct parent-child communications about the value of work, tangible support from family and/or outside resources, and multiple examples of work attachment are associated with employment and per…

Perceptions of pregnancy risk: A comparison by class and race
Perceptions of pregnancy risk by class and race were examined in a small sample of adolescent mothers. Findings from in-depth interviews indicated differences by class, but not by race, in the degree to which these adolescents, prior to conception, maintained a "personal fable" about their invulnerability to becoming pregnant through unprotected sexual intercourse
The Significance of Race and Class in Marital Decisions among Unmarried Adolescent Mothers
Marriages of adolescents to legitimize births has declined dramatically in the United States among black and white teenagers in recent years. This paper reports on a qualitative study of why black and white teenage mothers from middle-class, working-class, and lower-class backgrounds remained unmarried after becoming pregnant. The paper discusses in what ways the teens' reasons for single motherhood vary by their class and race. The study suggest…
