Black Deaf feminist methodology
In this qualitative study, the authors explored the lived experiences of 25 Black Deaf women attending college at a predominately White institution (PWI) with a majority-hearing student population to understand how the participants situate their intersectional identity in everyday situations. Data was collected using participant observation on campus, focus groups, and individual interviews. An intersectional framework and a critical race-grounde…
Meanings of Resilience and Mental Health in a Refugee Context
Despite the adversity Syrian refugees face, the majority of them present positive functioning and do not show clear signs of psychiatric diagnoses. To understand what constitutes this resilience and the concept of mental health among Syrian refugees, a total of four semi-structured groups interviews (N = 25) was conducted in Istanbul (Turkey) and Buffalo (USA). Findings suggest that resilience was cultivated by living in the present with hope for…
Resistance as a Foundational Commons
The paradigms of academic and activist feminisms in the United States in the middle and later half of the 20th century were developed in part as critical explorations of exclusionary practices within feminist ideology. The strength of critical feminisms is their capacity to reimagine the limiting parameters of exclusion (e.g., of Black people and people of color, of butch lesbians, etc.) that are based in many of the same principles that bolster …
Empathy and attitudes about substance abuse among social work students, clinical social workers, & nurses
Empathy is a critical component of social work practice, yet research has indicated that health professionals often express negative attitudes toward people who abuse substances. The current study examines levels of empathy and attitudes of social work students, clinical social workers and practicing nurses. Rates of empathy were lower than expected. The findings suggest that using tools such as SBIRT may be beneficial in terms of contributing to…
Exploring Intersectional Identity in Black Deaf Women
Although the concept of intersectionality has gained widespread attention in social science research, there remains a significant gap related to the impact of intersectionality on identity formation for persons negotiating multiple marginalized social identities. This gap is especially significant among Black women who are Deaf—two groups who face significant education disparities and are largely absent in the research literature. In response to …
Toward a Theory of Black Deaf Feminism
This article considers ways to enhance the conceptualization of Black deaf women’s lived experiences through an intersectional lens. An intersectional framework places emphasis on how social constructions of blackness, gender, and deafness shape the identity and experiences of Black deaf women. To outline the need for such a theory, this article first examines social constructions of Black deaf women in the intersections of race, gender, and deaf…
Human Rights
The goal of the study reported in this article was to explore the conceptualizations of human rights and human rights practice among students and supervisors in social work field settings. Data were collected from 35 students and 48 supervisors through an online survey system that featured two open-ended questions regarding human rights issues in their agency and human rights practice tasks. Responses suggest that participants encountered human r…
