State-Sponsored Child Separation as Cultural Genocide: Implications for Children’s Rights and Child Adoption
State-sponsored child separation as a method of cultural genocide and parental control has a long history around the world. While some may view this only as a historical occurrence, Russian actions in Ukraine and the previous U.S. policy of child separation at its southern border as a deterrent to seeking asylum are contemporary occurrences. Lessons from other countries in the Americas, Africa, and Asia are presented to illustrate the inherent hu…
MSW program directors in the United States: A scoping survey of responsibilities, preparation, and support
A survey of Master of Social Work (MSW) program directors in the United States investigated their current role including their environment, tasks and preparation, and support. Most respondents were untenured when they assumed the role, only 20% were head of their unit, and few had received any training. Despite working an average of 50 hours a week, lack of time for scholarship and managing competing priorities were top stressors, while joys incl…

Moving social work from international social work to global social work through aligning SDG principles and social work education standards
Much as the Sustainable Development Goals represent an evolution in shared global responsibility for development from the Millennium Development Goals, social work education can evolve from considering ‘international social work’ to thinking of ‘global social work.’ This evolution would consider social issues as shared across national borders rather than isolated to a nation or region and that all social workers, regardless of their home nation, …
Looking Back to Move Us Forward: Social Workers Deliver Justice as Human Rights Professionals
Social work was a progressive profession at its founding, and social workers sought to transform people's lives through wide-ranging reforms and work with individuals and communities. Over time, social work has evolved into a more conservative profession. Social workers have perpetuated oppressive policies, structures, and practices that marginalize vulnerable populations. This paper revisits the history of our profession and presents a human rig…

Social Work Is a Human Rights Profession
As defined by the International Federation of Social Workers, social work is a human rights profession. This is explicitly stated in the professional codes of ethics in many nations. However, the most recent version of the Code of Ethics of the National Association of Social Workers continues to exclude any mention of human rights, fitting in with the history of U.S. exceptionalism on this subject. Social workers around the world have a long hist…

Forced Labor
While many people in the United States believe that slavery ended after the American Civil War, the unfortunate truth is that slavery still continues around the world. A relatively small percentage of those enslaved are kept under conditions similar to those with which we are familiar from the southern United States. Modern slavery is much more “cost effective” than old-fashioned slavery, in that people are enslaved for only as long as they are p…
