  • Canadian social workers’ attitudes toward immigrants with different legal statuses in Canada

    Open Access•Rupaleem Bhuyan, Sandra Osazuwa et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Work•2024

    This study contributes to the ongoing efforts to address systemic inequality within social work by examining Canadian social workers’ attitudes toward immigrants who are permanent residents (PR), refugees, temporary residents (TR), or undocumented immigrants. Using a cross-sectional design with a convenience sample (n = 653), we explore how social workers’ attitudes toward immigrants vary in relation to (a) respondents’ demographics, (b) contact …

  • Trauma as the ‘Belief That the World is a Dangerous Place’: The Obfuscation of Systemic Violence in Social Work’s Discourses of Trauma

    Open Access•Alicia Chatterjee, Yoosun Park•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Social Work•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 43

    The concept of psychological trauma has been taken up widely in popular culture and in diverse academic fields including social work. In this work of poststructuralist discourse analysis, we used methods of close reading to examine a random sample of thirty social work articles on trauma (published 2010–2020). Our aim was not to refute the salience of the concept nor to establish its true meaning and correct usage, but to critically examine its d…

  • Unless we are Native, we are all immigrants to Canada”: Tensions between multicultural inclusion and settler-colonial consciousness among Canadian social workers

    Rupaleem Bhuyan, Sandra Osazuwa et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Ethnic & Cultural…•2023•References: 11

    This paper presents a discourse analysis of how social work values, knowledge, and attitudes toward immigrants are represented in 173 open-ended responses to a national survey (n = 1125) of Canadian social workers attitudes toward immigrants. Through discourse analysis of social workers' commentary, we discuss notable tensions between social workers' affinity for multicultural inclusion and their critiques of Canadian settler-colonialism. While r…

  • Social Workers’ Perceptions of Structural Inequality and Immigrant Threat: Results From a National Survey

    Yoosun Park, María Torres et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Work Education•2022

    As part of a national survey on social workers’ attitudes toward immigrants and immigration (N=4,499), we collected information on respondents’ perceptions of immigrants as threats and respondents’ views on structural inequality as it pertains to immigrants’ opportunities for success. Contrary to the Council on Social Work Education’s Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards stating the need for social workers to understand the existence an…

  • To “Elevate, Humanize, Christianize, Americanize”: Social Work, White Supremacy, and the Americanization Movement, 1880–1930

    Open Access•Yoosun Park, Michael Reisch•ARTICLE•Social Service Review•2022•Cited by: 3•References: 18

    Through close reading of primary sources, we analyzed social work’s role in the Americanization movement, a massive nation-building, nation-defining endeavor that flourished around the turn of the twentieth century. Although social work was a significant force in the rationalization and implementation of Americanization, its embrace of the project remains largely unknown within the field. We locate social work’s participation in the movement’s se…

  • Covid‐19–Related School Closings and Risk of Weight Gain Among Children

    Open Access•Andrew Rundle, Yoosun Park et al.•ARTICLE•Obesity•2020

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is causing substantial morbidity and mortality, straining health care systems, shutting down economies, and closing school districts. While it is a priority to mitigate its immediate impact, we want to call attention to the pandemic’s longer-term effect on children’s health; COVID-19, via these school closures, may exacerbate the epidemic of childhood obesity and increase disparities in obesity ris…

  • Facilitating Injustice: The Complicity of Social Workers in the Forced Removal and Incarceration of Japanese Americans, 1941-1946

    Yoosun Park•BOOK•Facilitating Injustice•2019

    Social workers were involved in all aspects of the removal, incarceration, and resettlement of the Nikkei, a history that has been forgotten by social work. This study is an effort to address this lacuna. Social work equivocated. While it did not fully endorse mass removal and incarceration, neither did it protest, oppose, or explicitly critique government actions. The past should not be judged by today’s standards; the actions and motivations de…

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

  • Resettled Yet Stateless: Elderly Monoglot Refugees in the United States as a Limit Case to Citizenship

    Open Access•Odessa Gonzalez Benson, Yoosun Park•ARTICLE•Journal of Human Rights Practice•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 15

    In this article, we present a limit case to citizenship—the elderly monoglot refugee who has resettled but remains stateless. Specifically, we focus on Bhutanese elders, who were denationalized and exiled from their home country of Bhutan and spent two decades in refugee camps before being resettled in the United States beginning in 2009. As resettled refugees, a ‘durable solution’ for their statelessness has technically been fulfilled; they are …

  • Feeding the Scyborgs in Social Work: Enduring Commitments That Sustain

    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…

  • 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

  • Feminism in These Dangerous Times

    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

    Open Access•Yoosun Park•ARTICLE•Affilia•2015•Cited by: 1•References: 12

    The Cable Act of 1922 provided for the first time in U.S. history, independent citizenship for married women. Henceforth, a woman’s citizenship was a status separate from her husband’s. A victory for activists, including many prominent social workers who had long-pursued equal political status for women, the Cable Act benefited many but not all women. Using primary archival data and published social work writings from the era, this study analyzes…

    The Young Women’s Christian Organization’s work on behalf of approximately 120,000 Japanese Americans incarcerated in federal relocation camps during World War II was progressive in its vision of racial equality and courageous in its proactive, vocal consistency.

    Nearly the whole of the Japanese American population of the United States was incarcerated by the federal government during World War II.

    The “vexed problem of immigration,” as Jane Addams (1909, 214) termed it, became a central issue for the emerging social work profession. Through a close reading of social work’s public documents in the period from 1875 to 1924, this article analyzes the complex discursive mechanisms by which early social workers made immigrants and their environments legible as objects of intervention and advocacy.

"Culture" is conceived as an objectifiable body of knowledge constituting the legitimate foundationfor the building of interventions. But such interventions can…

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

  • Resettled Yet Stateless: Elderly Monoglot Refugees in the United States as a Limit Case to Citizenship

    Open Access•Odessa Gonzalez Benson, Yoosun Park•ARTICLE•Journal of Human Rights Practice•2018•Cited by: 1•References: 15

    In this article, we present a limit case to citizenship—the elderly monoglot refugee who has resettled but remains stateless. Specifically, we focus on Bhutanese elders, who were denationalized and exiled from their home country of Bhutan and spent two decades in refugee camps before being resettled in the United States beginning in 2009. As resettled refugees, a ‘durable solution’ for their statelessness has technically been fulfilled; they are …

  • Feeding the Scyborgs in Social Work: Enduring Commitments That Sustain

    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…

  • Facilitating Injustice: The Complicity of Social Workers in the Forced Removal and Incarceration of Japanese Americans, 1941-1946

    Yoosun Park•BOOK•Facilitating Injustice•2019

    Social workers were involved in all aspects of the removal, incarceration, and resettlement of the Nikkei, a history that has been forgotten by social work. This study is an effort to address this lacuna. Social work equivocated. While it did not fully endorse mass removal and incarceration, neither did it protest, oppose, or explicitly critique government actions. The past should not be judged by today’s standards; the actions and motivations de…

  • Covid‐19–Related School Closings and Risk of Weight Gain Among Children

    Open Access•Andrew Rundle, Yoosun Park et al.•ARTICLE•Obesity•2020

    The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is causing substantial morbidity and mortality, straining health care systems, shutting down economies, and closing school districts. While it is a priority to mitigate its immediate impact, we want to call attention to the pandemic’s longer-term effect on children’s health; COVID-19, via these school closures, may exacerbate the epidemic of childhood obesity and increase disparities in obesity ris…

  • Still We Resist: Reflections on Our Tenure as Editors-in-Chief

    Open Access•Yoosun Park, Rupaleem Bhuyan et al.•ARTICLE•Affilia•2020•Cited by: 1•References: 4

    Editorial. On December 14 of this year, we will conclude our tenure as editors-in-chief of Affilia: Journal of Women and Social Work. In pondering this, our last editorial, we have been reflecting on those tumultuous years under the Trump presidency, a time during which some of our worst fears for the political landscape of the United States have come to fruition, and the centuries-deep wounds of systemic inequalities in our communities have been…
