“Living on the outskirts of things
Through the narratives of women of color and nonbinary people of color with cognitive disabilities, this paper describes experiences of U.S. workplace discrimination and strategies used to navigate employment. Informed by Dis/ability Critical Race Theory and guided by interpretive description, this study engaged 10 participants in semi-structured interviews about their experiences seeking and maintaining employment—including encounters with racis…
Centering Racial Equity in a BSW Program
In response to the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump and calls for antiracist action from activists and communities of color, our Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program embarked on a process of curriculum revision. In this article, we describe our efforts to center critical and Black, Indigenous, and people of color (BIPOC) scholarship and to better align our curriculum with the experiences of students of color. While we have drawn from feminist an…
An ethic of care? Academic administration and pandemic policy
This reflexive essay examines the adoption of an intentional ‘ethic of care’ by social work administrators in a large social work school located in the Pacific Northwest. An ethic of care foregrounds networks of human interdependence that collapse the public/private divide. Moreover, rooted in the political theory of recognition, a care ethic responds to crisis by attending to individuals’ uniqueness and ‘whole particularity.’ Foremost, it reject…
Intersectionality as an Analytic Framework for Understanding the Experiences of Mental Health Stigma Among Racialized Men
Can the Lifeworld Save us From Neoliberal Governmentality? Social work, critical theory, and Habermas
Two years have passed since the 2016 election of Donald J. Trump, and U.S. social work is revisiting its radical stirrings and grappling with its conservative moorings. In this paper, I will argue that as U.S. social work appraises the adequacy of its intellectual leaders, the cultural relevance of its practice models, and its stance toward the Enlightenment ideals of reason, truth, and justice, it might usefully re-examine its relationship to th…
A Credit Check of Maternal Assets
US policy makers and child welfare researchers have expressed the need to establish the ‘minimum level of care’ and ‘good enough parenting’ necessary for children to return to their families after removal from the home. The aim of this study was to investigate the construction of the good enough family by social workers and judges in one Midwestern US state. Informed by constructivist grounded theory, data collection consisted of forty-two semi-s…
Why informally employed Chinese women do not go to the doctor
Informal employment, in which workers have no security of employment and receive few or no health insurance benefits, has risen sharply in urban China in the last decade. The percentage of women in informal employment in China is higher than in the formal employment sector; 'feminization' has thus become a key feature of informal employment in China. A feminized informal labor sector has far-reaching effects on the status of women's health and on…
Selecting an EBP to Reduce Long-Term Foster Care
A growing implementation literature outlines broad evidence-based practice implementation principles and pitfalls. Less robust is knowledge about the real-world process by which a state or agency chooses an evidence-based practice to implement and evaluate. Using a major U.S. initiative to reduce long-term foster care as the case, this article describes three major aspects of the evidence-based practice selection process: defining a target popula…
