Teaching Note—Antioppressive Pedagogy in Action
The project of engaging undergraduates in research methods courses is an outstanding challenge for social work educators. Anxiety about the subject is common, for both students and instructors. Further, students’ wariness may reflect historical trauma and their knowledge about the ways in which research has been used to oppress people of color; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer or questioning, intersex, asexual or ally, and other sexual …
Self-Concept Among Formerly Incarcerated Sexual Minority Women
Sexual minority women (SMW) are a resilient yet vulnerable population who may experience poor psychosocial outcomes due to minority stress associated with their marginalized status and traumatic experiences resulting from interpersonal and structural violence. When SMW are incarcerated, the trauma of this experience can exacerbate existing mental health challenges. Self-concept is a key measure of mental health that is associated with increased s…

Advancing Health Equity
The CRF program demonstrated that community members are well-suited, well-positioned, and eager to engage in and inform public health research. CRFs bring capacity and valuable perspective to research teams. The CRF training program offers an innovative approach to address power imbalances in research and to move towards more equitable community-university partnerships for improved health outcomes
If Anti-Racism Is the Goal, Then Anti-Oppression Is How We Get There
Many schools of social work around the United States of America wrote anti-racism statements because of the recent murders of Black and Brown people. In this contribution, the authors describe a challenging and tense discussion of racism and anti-racism leading to a group process about oppression and anti-oppression in the social work profession. For some, the urgency to address racism led to tactics and strategies that got in the way of social w…
Tensions and connections between social work and anti-capitalist disability activism
Social work's relationship to disability activism under capitalism is an underexplored area of the profession's literature. This paper aims to help address this gap by providing a conceptual discussion of the tensions within disability activism, within social work, and between the two. Lenin's analysis of the state is used to integrate opposing ideologies. We begin by providing a historical overview of the disability rights and disability justice…
The drug issue really isn't the main problem”— A photovoice study on community perceptions of place, health, and substance abuse
Community-based accompaniment & social work—A complementary approach to social action
Accompaniment, or the intentional practice of presence, emphasizes processes and relationships over outcomes, with the ultimate goal of leveraging privilege and collectively changing destructive systems. Though not widely recognized in social work, accompaniment has been applied globally. Here, we outline an overview of accompaniment, including how it has been applied in social work literature and practice. We then propose community-based accompa…
Honouring the role of community in community health work with Cambodian Americans
Despite surviving extreme forms of violence, torture and other traumas during the Khmer Rouge genocide and forced migration, Cambodian Americans experience devastating health inequities and barriers to health access in the United States (U.S.). From the perspective of Cambodian American community health workers (CHWs), we explored three aims in this community-based participatory research (CBPR), qualitative study: Cambodian Americans' understandi…
