The Digital Divide Is a Human Rights Issue: Advancing Social Inclusion Through Social Work Advocacy
The role of technology and importance of access to high-speed broadband has become glaringly obvious during the COVID-19 pandemic. High-speed Internet is a tool people rely upon to conduct the daily business of their life and interact with each other, the economy, and government. However, millions of people in the USA still have no home access to high-speed Internet. Low-income, people of color, older, Native Americans, and rural residents in par…
It’s a generosity loop”: Religious and spiritual motivations of volunteers who glean produce to reduce food insecurity
Food insecurity is a common social issue and households look to assistance from food pantries, which often have difficulty supplying fresh or nutritious food. A substantial amount of produce is left in the fields, which can be collected through gleaning. In a focus group with volunteer gleaners at a faith-based nonprofit organization that attempts to fill the gaps of food insecurity, the motivations, challenges, and benefits of volunteering were …
Financial Capability and Asset Building: A Transformational Practice Framework
The promotion of financial capability and asset building (FCAB) is an important and fitting professional activity for social work, which has long been concerned with the economic well-being of individuals and families. Financial capability is attainable only if we assist clients by helping them to build new skills while simultaneously helping them to connect to economic opportunity structures such as savings, job training, or credit repair progra…
The Integration of Micro and Macro Practice: A Qualitative Study of Clinical Social Workers’ Practice With Domestic Violence Survivors
The domestic violence (DV) field has long been known for its commitment to the integration of micro- and macro-level practice. This study explores the views of social workers providing clinical services within DV agencies in order to shed light on the ways in which they intellectually resolve the tensions inherent in carrying out the dual mission. Following the review of historical debates on professionalization of the field, the analysis focuses…
Educational and Financial Institutions Partnering to Implement CSAs: Evaluation of Financial Partners’ Perspectives from the 2011 Gear UP Invitational Priority
Educational and financial institutions are increasingly partnering to open Children’s Savings Accounts (CSAs); however, little is known about these partnerships’ effectiveness for planning and implementing CSAs. A 2011 invitational priority from the Department of Education encouraged partnerships between Gaining Early Awareness and Readiness for Undergraduate Programs (GEAR UP) programs and financial institutions to open CSAs for low-income stude…
From Helena to Harlem: Barriers to Saving at Two Seed Sites
Policy makers are increasingly interested in incentivized savings programs for low-income children. This study reports findings from interviews with caregivers of accountholders in the Saving for Education, Entrepreneurship, and Downpayment (SEED), a national research initiative. Although asset-building proponents emphasize that low-income citizens can save with the right supports, median saving rates in the SEED study were quite low. In-depth in…
Do Assets Affect Well-Being? Perceptions of Youth in a Matched Savings Program
This article presents data from a qualitative study of a youth savings account program. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 youth ages 14–19 between November 2004 and February 2005 who were participants in the Saving for Education, Entrepreneurship, and Downpayment (SEED) national demonstration project. Our findings focus on youths' perceptions of the psychological, behavioral, and social impacts of savings-program participation. Five of o…
Is a Critical Pedagogy for the Profession of Social Work Possible
In this essay, we address the perspective of progressive educators who maintain that academic curricula should be approached through the use of a critical pedagogy. We begin with a review of theories and methods in critical pedagogy and present a set of social and institutional issues that mediate against its use in social work education. We argue that, paradoxically, many of these obstacles in fact make the use of a critical pedagogy indispensab…
Nasw Chapters: Directors' Perceptions of Factors Which Impede and Encourage Active Member Participation
NASW state chapters provide a mechanism through which members can become involved in formal political and community advocacy practice. However, there is little understanding of the extent to which members are actively involved in policy and political practice and the factors that encourage or discourage participation. Through a mailed survey to state NASW chapter directors, this paper describes the extent to which members are involved in advocacy…
Social Work and Labor Unions: Historical and Contemporary Alliances
While the profession of social work and the labor movement have moved in different directions since the post-WW2 era, recent events, such as the dominance of managed care and cuts in government financing, have led social workers to rediscover unions as potential political and workplace allies. This essay uses interviews, union documents and secondary data to document both historical and contemporary alliances between unions and social workers. Sp…
Policy Frames and Agenda Setting: The Case for Progressive Populism
Social policy in the 1990s has not moved in a progressive direction. Instead, centrist New Democrats have succeeded in promoting issues such as welfare reform and managed health care, and have made efforts to appeal to upper-middle class voters. Several socio-economic trends, including growing income inequality, employment insecurity, health care inequities, and economic globalization, are creating the basis for grass-roots movements based on his…
Residential Mobility and Youth Well-Being: Research, Policy, and Practice Issues
Despite an extensive body of sociological work suggesting that residential mobility reduces child well-being, the subject of relocation has been largely overlooked in social work and social welfare literature. Recent social policies threaten to increase the incidence of moving among low-income families in the United States. This paper reviews theoretical and empirical literature in this area and finds evidence that residential mobility reduces ch…
Mortgage Lending and Gender
This article analyzes 1992 data from the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act for the city and county of St. Louis, MO. The primary hypothesis was that controlling for relevant factors, women would be more likely than men to be denied home loans. The findings contradict the hypothesis and suggest that men are slightly more likely than women to be denied conventional mortgage loans. However, the study also found that women with male coapplicants are more …
