Personal and professional reflections on Islam, social work, and social welfare in the USA
This article draws on informal and formal experiences with Islam and Social Welfare beginning with early childhood, higher education, and on through four decades—1996 through 2016—as a social work professor, including research, teaching, community service, and active participation in the National Association of Social Workers (NASW), the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), and the Society for Social Work Research (SSWR). I present four recom…
Relational Mentoring of Doctoral Social Work Students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities
This article explores the distinctive mentoring experiences of social work doctoral students at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs). With a philosophical emphasis on social justice, self-determination, racial identity and pride, and social integration, social work faculty at HBCUs mentor African American and other students in PhD programs for academic achievement and successful leadership in the professoriate.

Sex Trafficking
Sex trafficking (ST), a contemporary form of female slavery, is a human rights issue of critical concern to social work. The global response to ST has been substantial, and 166 countries have adopted anti-ST legislation. Despite considerable efforts to combat ST, the magnitude is increasing. To date, the majority of anti-ST efforts have focused on criminalization policies that target traffickers or purchasers of sexual services, who are predomina…
Reflections
When Christine Flynn Saulnier and I started our tenure as the coeditors of Affilia in fall 2006, we declared our intention to build upon the vision of the founding mothers of Affilia within the context of global changes that were occurring during the first decade of the 21st century. That vision was a journal that would provide space for feminists in the academy to examine the serious challenges that women were facing. Women academicians found th…
Transnational Cross-Racial Surrogacy
The Indian movie Mala Aai Vhhaychy (“I Want to Be a Mother” in the Marathi language), in juxtaposition with the article in this issue of Affilia by Rotabi and Bromfield entitled “Intercountry Adoption Declines and New Practices of Global Surrogacy: Global Exploitation and Human Rights Concerns,” bring to the surface several cultural, social, ethical, economic, and professional social work issues that I address in this editorial. The movie asks a …
Microaggression, Women, and Social Work
The behaviors described as microaggression, and the responses of people who are the target of microaggressions, underlie many of the challenges social workers strive to help clients overcome. In addition, many female social workers and academicians are targets of microaggression. This can be the case when dealing with institutions on clients’ behalf, or when managing relations and careers within their own institutions. There are three main aims o…

Global Migration and Gender
The Impact of Unintended Consequences of the 1996 U.S. Immigration Reform Act on Women
This spiritual, performed by the Fisk University Jubilee singers during the 1870s, has its origins in the days of slavery when the children of African slaves were sold and separated from their mothers. This lyrical lament can be applied to the current plight of women, mothers, and grandmothers, who experience the trauma and emotional distress of forced return migration from the United States to their ‘‘homelands,’’ while their U.S.-born children,…
