  • Commentary—Voices of Solidarity: Challenging Censorship in Social Work Discourse on Palestine During an Ongoing Genocide

    Jessica Saba, Nidia Hernandez et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work Education2025

By February 2025, more than 14,000 people who were still trapped under the rubble were declared dead, with the death toll in Gaza likely nearing 62,000 murdered Palestinians. We reflect on our comm…

    Natasha S Mendoza, Lindsey Cantelme et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Work Practice…2023

    Exercise may be a useful complement to treatment programs aimed at reducing the negative neural and functional consequences of alcohol and drug use. While some empirical studies have examined the impact of physical activity (PA) as a complement to treatment, they are limited in sample size or they fail to consider the unique physiological status of women. In preparation for a developmental study, we took steps to examine the feasibility of a fitn…

  • The shoe on the other foot: Considering oppression for Bipoc social workers

    Jessica Saba, Danica Nestor et al.ARTICLEJournal of Ethnic & Cultural…2023References: 6

    As the Social Work profession reconciles with the profession's history of overt and covert harm toward people of color, it seems to have missed the crucial conversations surrounding the harm perpetuated toward BIPOC colleagues within its profession (National Association of Social Workers [NASW], 2021). Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) are essential to the profession. BIPOC social workers have the ability to relate to clients who hav…
