Race, Space, and Culture
In 2008, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) initiated internal efforts to reenvision its accreditation framework. One of its primary intentions was to identify and engage in activities that could further advance racial equity throughout social work education. However, despite these efforts, CSWE’s focus and effect have been largely relegated to bachelor’s- and master’s-level programs. Conversely, considerably less attention has been dedi…
Black Face White stage
The American theater is a place of possibilities. As such, it utilizes performative discourses to develop and propagate values, beliefs, identities, and ways of being. While the historical significance of the American theater leaves little room for debate, its continued dependency on Eurocentric values, vantages, and aesthetics is now being called into question. Still, there remains a dearth of research exploring the roles/impacts of race within …
Teaching Social Justice After the Dobbs Decision
On June 24, 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court issued the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, overturning 50 years of protected abortion rights in the United States.

This paper used mixed methodology to collect quantitative and qualitative survey data from MSW students to explore how they percei…

The purpose of this study was to learn social work students' attitudes toward a large, public Midwestern U.S. university's response to COVID-19 at the outset and in January 2022 during the surge of COVID-19's …
Forming Identities of Their Own
According to data analyzed from the Gallup Daily Tracking Politics and Economy survey between 2015 and 2017, nearly half (46.7%) of LGBT adults in the U.S. are religious, and just over half (53.3%) of LGBT adults are not religious. The majority who identified as religious attend Protestant churches. The Pentecostal church is a member of the Protestant Christian tradition. In a Constructivist Grounded Theory study of six U.S. gay male, Pentecostal…
An Institution Can Have Good Intentions and Still Be Atrocious
Educational settings have been found to be challenging arenas for transgender and gender expansive (TGE) youth and young adults due to misgendering, lack of affirming bathrooms, systemic exclusion (e.g., legal names and lack of inclusive gender identity demographic options), and frequent silence or avoidance related to TGE issues. Though studies of TGE adult experiences in higher education are emerging, most explore disaffirming experiences. Soci…
