Improving Hiring, Retention, and Promotion of Bipoc Faculty
Social workers are responsible for dismantling systems of oppression, promoting equity and inclusion, and creating and implementing just systems. Yet the structural inequities that disadvantage historically marginalized populations, including BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) populations, continue to be embedded into the very thread of social work practice, education, and research. Using critical race theory, we discuss how race and …

Understanding this relationship in schools of social work can inform methods used by schools of social work to foster diversity and inclusion. Authors examined the relationship between passive and active diversity representation among 31 randomly selected school of social w…

Intimate Partner Violence, Police Engagement, and Perceived Helpfulness of the Legal System: Between- and Within-Group Analyses by Women’s Race and Ethnicity
Objective: Disparate research findings suggest a need for more attention to intimate partner violence (IPV) survivors’ experiences when reporting to police. To help address inequities and advance our understanding of racial/ethnic minoritized survivors’ experiences with the U.S. legal system, we use critical race theory to investigate the association between survivors’ race/ethnicity and police engagement and the degree of between- and within-gro…
