Community Sponsorship of Refugees and Asylum Seekers
Social work education for practice with refugees remains underdeveloped, and refugee resettlement organizations in the United States are understaffed. A promising new approach engages community sponsors to resettle refugees, providing opportunities for civic engagement and wider understanding of refugee policy. We provide a research-based assessment of the community sponsorship model based on semi-structured interviews with 56 community sponsor v…
Federal Rulemaking
Administrative advocacy, including federal and judicial rulemaking, is an important yet underutilized tool for social work policy practice and advocacy. In June 2024, the Supreme Court overturned the Chevron doctrine through its ruling on two landmark cases. Chevron gave precedence to federal agencies to use federal rulemaking to interpret legislation. Overturning Chevron shifts power to the judiciary and has important consequences for social wor…
Promoting Food Justice and the Right to Adequate Food in Social Work Education
Solidarity Work as Political Action
Volunteers in the USA have long provided support for refugees being resettled through the UNHCR-based refugee resettlement program, as well as for asylum seekers and other undocumented migrants through local community or faith-based organizations. Individual and collective acts of solidarity on behalf of those seeking sanctuary, asylum seekers, and refugees have recently increased, reflecting public reaction to increasingly restrictive US immigra…
Human Rights of Forced Migrants During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Solidarity in times of crisis
The 2019 COVID-19 pandemic has amplified inequalities and human rights challenges; in some states, COVID-19 policies have been introduced that further curtail human rights. Although some limits may be justified in the time of a public health emergency, other rights are vital to secure precisely because of pandemic conditions. Following a discussion of the concept of political solidarity, we examine how COVID-19 has underscored democratic “deficit…
Human rights education in US social work
Social work education in the United States takes place not only in classrooms but also in the many workplaces where students complete their mandatory internships. This practicum, known as “field education,” is social work’s “signature pedagogy.” Although efforts have been made to integrate human rights education (HRE) into US social work education and the Council on Social Work Education now mandates a human rights competency, little research has…

Human Rights in the Practice of Family Therapy
In this article the authors introduce a human rights framework into the practice of family therapy. In particular, the authors explore the relevance of human rights to the practice of liberation-based work, arguing for situating individual experience within collective human rights discourse; drawing from human rights movements to promote resistance and resilience; and using a human rights framework to promote restorative justice and accountabilit…
Transatlantic Connections in the Making of a Socialist–Feminist Framework for Social Welfare in Turkey
Sabiha Zekeriya Sertel (1895–1968) was one of Turkey’s most prominent advocates for the rights of children, women, the working class, and the poor. This article focuses on her training in community organizing at the New York School of Social Work in the early 1920s and her subsequent shift to social realist journalism and political advocacy in Turkey. Sertel’s biography offers evidence of transatlantic connections during the early years of profes…
Human Rights in the United States
This book brings to light emerging evidence of a shift toward a fuller engagement with international human rights norms and their application to domestic policy dilemmas in the United States. The volume offers a rich history, spanning close to three centuries, of the marginalization of human rights discourse in the United States. Contributors analyze cases of US human rights advocacy aimed at addressing persistent inequalities within the United S…

Field research indicates that, as with other humanitarian crises…

Humanitarian Alliances
This article examines collaborations between international and local NGOs serving Iraqi refugees in Jordan. Refugee displacement, while fraught with challenges, also presents opportunities to support Jordanian civil society and the state social safety net. Such developments potentially benefit not only Iraqi refugees, but also low-income Jordanians. Barriers to international NGO involvement in Jordan have led to a collaborative model of humanitar…
Reframing Violence Against Women as a Human Rights Violation
Evan Stark claims that partner-perpetrated physical abuse and other forms of violence against women ought to be understood as a human rights violation. The authors engage Stark's rhetorically powerful political and analytical innovation by outlining one theoretical and one practical challenge to shifting the paradigm that researchers, advocates, and policy makers use to describe, explain, and remedy the harms of coercive control from misdemeanor …
Staging Turkish Women’s Emancipation
This article examines debates over Turkish women’s emancipation and women’s independent organizing in Turkey during the 1930s. It traces the troubled history of Turkey’s most prominent independent women’s organization, the Turkish Women’s Union (Türk Kadın Birliği), focusing especially on the Twelfth Congress of the International Alliance of Women (IAW) held in Istanbul in 1935. Despite the renown of the Women’s Union, it was forced to disband sh…
