Emerging from the Pickle Jar of Social Work Education
What comprises the “best approach to social work education” has been debated since the inception of the field. The current times are no different in that challenge, but we now find ourselves in what we refer to as major epistemic, ontological, and axiological pickles as politics invades universities and smothers rigorous study and communication. Informed by a brief analysis of social work education today, we then visit with metamodernism using th…
Disability as Microcosm: The Boundaries of the Human Body
In this paper, we query the legitimacy of the atypical body for membership, quasi-membership, or exclusion from the category of human. Geneticized, branded, and designed as not normal, undesirable, and in need of change, embodied disablement can provide an important but circumvented analysis of the explicit and implicit nature of the legitimate human body, its symbolism, and responses that such bodies elicit from diverse local through global soci…
Designer diversity: Moving beyond categorical branding
Given the primacy of global economics and marketing mind-sets, this article interrogates current views of diversity as a phenomenon of “bodies and backgrounds” design and branding. We begin by examining the concept of diversity and its lexical and conceptual history. We then briefly review relevant design and branding concepts and proceed to apply them to diversity. The article concludes with an analysis of design and branding as subversive and o…
Women with Disabilities and Experiences of Abuse
A qualitative study of disabled and non-disabled professionals and survivors of abuse revealed a range of types of abuse endured by disabled women, some of which were unique to that population. Two major themes emerged from data analysis: vulnerable beginnings and complexity of abuse. Three sub-themes are encompassed within complexity of abuse: active abuse, abuse through image, and contextual abuse by social service/legislative systems. The auth…
Linking the Assessment of Self-Reported Functional Capacity With Abuse Experiences of Women With Disabilities
Women with disabilities are abused at rates similar to or greater than their nondisabled counterparts. Compared with nonabused women, women abused by an intimate partner have a greater risk of being disabled or having an illness that affects their activities of daily living. Although disabled women experience similar forms of abuse to those of nondisabled women, some forms of abuse are unique to disabled women due to the limitations that the disa…
Redefining Abuse of Women With Disabilities: A Paradox of Limitation and Expansion
The study presented here, which relied on naturalistic design and focus-group methodology, examined the experiences of abused women with disabilities and the women's use of and need for services and resources. The study found that although disabled and nondisabled women face many of the same forms of abuse, disabled women have unique experiences that require specialized services
Discussion of Disability and Use of Self in the Classroom
As with other minorities, social work faculty with disabilities often face a dilemma of which personal experiences to discuss in the classroom and how to accomplish this to advance the teaching-learning process. This discussion of disability utilizing direct narrative experiences, seeking to maximize the quality of teaching and student learning about disability while maintaining personal boundaries is both complex and exposes faculty with disabil…
Multiculturalism and Disability: A critical perspective
In an effort to counter discrimination and powerlessness, the disability community has espoused sociopolitical and cultural factors as defining characteristics of disability identity. This view of disability has replaced the historical medical model of disability as a deficit, and has had important implications for social action, political agendas, legislation and overall quality of life for individuals with disabilities. This article reviews cur…

This qualitative program evaluation found that women who seek domestic violence and/or sexual assault services believe that their safety and security is essential. Further, women frequently found personal strength and support through the…
