The Role of Accessible Program Information in Attracting Diverse PhD Students to Social Work Programs
This study explored the importance of accessible social work doctoral program information and the need to conduct further research on prospective PhD students to more completely meet their needs. The PhD Student Navigation System was used as a framework to complete a content analysis on publicly available information pertaining to top social work PhD programs in the United States. Results reveal a range of available information for prospective Ph…
Voices from the Sidelines
Black women are at unique risk of being victimized directly and vicariously by police brutality. Yet, prominent narratives surrounding anti-Black police brutality center the systematic criminalization of Black men or engage the matter from a gender-neutral perspective. To focus greater attention on the harm and violence inflicted on Black women by police brutality, this study engaged semi-structured focus group interviews with 18 Black emerging a…
An Antiracist CBPAR Approach to Honoring Victims of Racial Terror Lynching in Washington County, Arkansas
Standing in the gap
Black women in higher education routinely face and combat intersecting structural inequities to accomplish their goals in their roles as students, staff, administrators, and faculty members. Black women have also consistently found ways to create pathways to support one another in navigating multiple structural inequities in academia to achieve success. In this study, we used duoethnographic methods to explore our lived experiences of formal ment…
Racism Exposure and Trauma Accumulation Perpetuate Pain Inequities—advocating for Change (Restorative)
Experiences of racism occur across a continuum from denial of services to more subtle forms of discrimination and exact a significant toll. These multilevel systems of oppression accumulate as chronic stressors that cause psychological injury conceptualized as racism-based traumatic stress (RBTS). RBTS has overlapping symptoms with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with the added burden that threats are constantly present. Chronic pain is a pu…
Navigating an anti-Black campus climate
In the 1960s, Black student protests of racism through sit-ins, building occupations, and demands for the resignation of university top administrators spurred the creation of ethnic studies and diversity programs on white university campuses in the United States. These efforts did not, unfortunately, dismantle entrenched structural racism. Black student activism continues to confront racial inequities using digitized campaigns on social media pla…
Correlates of Incarceration of Fathers, Socioeconomic Influences, and Mental Illness
The United States leads globally in incarceration. Incarceration can disrupt families in both immediate and long-term ways, including finances and mental illness. We examined the relationship between father incarceration during adolescence and the development of mental illness in adulthood as well as the relationship of household assets and debts in relation to the mental illness outcomes. Wave IV data of the National Longitudinal Study of Adoles…
Experiences With Imposter Syndrome and Authenticity at Research-Intensive Schools of Social Work
TThere is little known about the experiences of Black women in schools of social work, specifically those situated within research-intensive (R-1) Carnegie-designated institutions. Experiences of imposter syndrome and authenticity often result in negative experiences and poor professional outcomes for Black women in academia. This study explores Black women social work faculty members' sense of self through the prisms of imposter syndrome and aut…
Treating Mental Illness Among Diabetic Black Male Adolescents
There are gaps present for what effectively treats comorbid mental illness and DMT2 in Black male adolescents. For comorbid mental illness and DMT1, there are gaps in additional efficacious treatments, effectiveness across conditions, and effect duration beyond 24 months
