Men's Disassociation From Sexual Harassment in Public Spaces in Nepal
This study examines how men in Nepal position themselves in discussions of sexual harassment against women in public spaces, including the discursive strategies they use to disassociate themselves from the identity of perpetrators. Through in-depth interviews with men from diverse backgrounds, findings demonstrate two primary forms of disassociation: blaming women and activists for unduly exaggerating the prevalence of harassment, and attributing…
A Critical Review of Measures of Gender Equitable Attitudes: Recommendations for Conceptualization and Future Assessment
Between International Policy and Local Practice: Nepali Service Providers’ Constructions of Domestic Violence in Context
The conceptualization of social problems is an important site for examining the extent to which the knowledge and priorities of local practitioners are reflected in international policy. This study employed critical discourse analysis to examine the constructions of domestic violence (DV) used by service providers in Pokhara, Nepal, as compared with two major international women's human rights policy documents. Both constructed DV as a human righ…
Epistemic justice in international social work research: Postcolonial theory and analytic strategies
Scholars have long grappled with the ways in which unequal power relations influence the creation and circulation of international social work knowledge. I outline a robust postcolonial theoretical framework to elucidate complexities of global knowledge and power and extend possibilities for considering such questions of epistemic justice. Drawing on my own research with service providers in Nepal, I suggest three analytic strategies to apply pos…
Safety Is Elusive: ” A Critical Discourses Analysis of Newspapers’ Reporting of Domestic Violence During the Coronavirus Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic exacerbated incidences of domestic violence (DV). The framing of DV within media sources contributes to the public's understanding of DV. Using critical discourse analysis (CDA), this paper explores representations of safety within newspapers' reporting of DV during the pandemic. The sample included newspaper articles ( n = 31) from U.S. newspapers. The analysis involved multiple rounds of coding and employing "structured qu…
Patterns of Gender Equitable Attitudes and Behaviors Among Young Men: Relationships With Violence Perpetration and Masculinity Ideologies
This study used latent profile analysis with data from 481 U.S. men to examine patterns of men's attitudes toward gender equity and their engagement in gender-equitable (GE) behaviors. Five resulting profiles included groups with (a) high endorsement of both GE attitudes and behaviors, (b) low endorsement of both, (c) mid-range endorsement of both, (d) strong endorsement of GE attitudes, but low engagement in action, and (e) low endorsement of GE…
Entrenched, Unrelenting, Unsettled: Cultural Essentialism in International Development Research on Domestic Violence in Nepal
Domestic violence (DV) is a serious problem that reinforces patriarchy and interlocking systems of oppression. Yet, as a form of gender-based violence, DV has long been implicated in essentialist discourses that produce cultural Others, primarily through a deficit lens. Similarly, the field of international development was founded upon a discursive binary between groups labeled “traditional” and an idealized portrait of Western modernity. Drawing…
Discursive decisions: Signposts to guide the use of critical discourse analysis in social work
Critical discourse analysis (CDA) examines the relationship between language and power in society. By linking micro, mezzo, and macro environments, examining the impact of language on marginalized communities, and providing a lens for critical reflection, CDA aligns with the frameworks and values of social work as a profession. Yet this method has been underutilized in social work research. This paper provides an orientation for social work schol…
Discursive Constructions During Covid-19: Calling for the Critical Analysis of Discourse in Social Work During and After the Pandemic
At the Society for Social Work and Research 2021 Annual Conference, the authors of this commentary presented at or attended a roundtable discussion to critically examine discourses around age, race, and gender that had emerged or been impacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. Inspired by the richness of their discussion and diverse areas of interest, they coauthored this commentary to argue for the utility and relevance of critical discourse analysi…
How Research Evidence is Defined, Acquired, and Shared Across Systems That Address Intimate Partner Violence
This exploratory study examined the flow of research evidence through systems that address intimate partner violence (IPV), including victim services, law enforcement, and criminal justice organizations. Qualitative interviews with representatives of these disciplines assessed how respondents define, acquire, and share research evidence. Findings suggest that research evidence is defined more broadly in the field than in academic settings, and is…
Assessing The Evidence: How Systems That Address Intimate Partner Violence Evaluate The Credibility And Utility Of Research Findings
Addressing global social relationships in transnational social work research processes and institutions
In the last two decades, scholars and practitioners have adopted the term ‘transnational social work’ to capture the complexity of cross-border flows and their effects on people. This paper pursues the idea of transnational social work research (TSWR), specifically seeking research practices that are promising for promoting social justice in the face of global challenges. We argue that when powerful institutions set research priorities, they may …
