Voice and Community in the Corporate Academy
This article is the story of the simultaneous feminization and corporatization of universities, themes that emerged in a test of a collective biography, a qualitative research method. Organizers brought together 12 macro social work academic women across generations and, through sampling, attempted to avoid the intergenerational splitting that seems to be leaving junior faculty to be socialized by administrators while simultaneously isolating sen…
University Community Partnerships that Promote Evidence-Based Macro Practice
This article articulates three dimensions of EBP grounded in theory for macro practice: intention toward social change, planning and decision-making, and civic participation. These dimensions are then applied to university community partnerships that are complex community interventions. The goals of these partnerships are to improve the social environment in low-income neighborhoods through community development and reform the university as a soc…
Social Work Textbooks on Human Behavior and the Social Environment
This analysis of fourteen foundation frequently used Human Behavior and Social Environment (HB&SE) textbooks is based on the Council on Social Work Education's (2001) guidelines for HB&SE and a framework for integrating content related to the social environment. Specific criteria for assessment included how well the textbook reflected the reciprocal nature of human behavior and the social environment, presented a strengths perspective, incorporat…
Evaluating the Social Environment Component of Social Work Courses on Human Behavior and the Social Environment
This analysis of 117 foundation of Human Behavior and Social Environment (HB&SE) course outlines gathered from 60 graduate schools of social work is based on the HB&SE standards of the Council on Social Work Education (2001). It draws upon an analytic framework for integrating content related to the social environment. Specific criteria for assessment included how well the course outline reflected the reciprocal nature of human behavior and the s…
Towards a Comprehensive Framework for Understanding the Social Environment
This paper presents a conceptual framework for selecting and organizing concepts of the social environment. It expands upon the traditional Human Behavior and the Social Environment perspectives used in social work curricula in the United States by identifying how a macro-systemconsisting of the intersection of four societal forces (social justice, social problems, social policy, and the political economy) works to influence a micro-systemof comm…
A User-Friendly Approach to Program Evaluation and Effective Community Interventions for Families at Risk of Homelessness
This article demonstrates how a user-friendly evaluation of a federally funded homeless prevention program using an action research approach--and using a logic model as the analytic framework--informed multiple stakeholders, including members of Congress, other decision makers, and Family Center practitioners. The program's target population was very low-income families at risk of being evicted from public housing. The authors discuss the methods…
University Civic Engagement with Community-Based Organizations
This article compares and contrasts two case studies of large research universities involved in civic engagement projects with urban nonprofit community-based organizations and neighborhood associations. The article uses a community building framework in which organizational, interorganizational, and community-level features are examined. The study found that each university used a different approach through which to achieve a university-communit…
Community Building in Hard Times
This paper is about the development and implementation of community building in public housing as a poverty-reduction, homeless prevention strategy. The case offers a view from the streets of a public housing project where a family support program in a large child and family agency worked with very poor residents squeezed by dual policy reforms in welfare and in affordable housing. The practice innovation was a model of non-categorical programmin…
Starting Small
Comprehensive multi-sector community initiatives are currently regarded as the preferred strategy to use when trying to address social problems at the local level. However, this article suggests that faced with political uncertainty, low-income communities may derive benefits from the strategy of starting small. Findings are presented from an organizational analysis of a seven-member community-based collaboration formed to reduce child abuse and …
Nonprofit Organizations and Innovation
Public policymakers increasingly are contracting with nonprofit organizations (NPOs) for innovations in the creation of new service systems in low-income communities. Interorganizational collaboration and cooperation are essential to such innovation. Neighborhood-based institutional arrangements require social work practitioners to work across multiple systems simultaneously--skills that most are not trained to possess. This article develops a th…
Building a Neighborhood Network
Policymakers have identified the community-based human services network as a promising model for restructuring services in neighborhoods affected by poverty, but researchers have found this approach complex and difficult to implement. An increase in networks and partnerships among service providers suggests that organizations are learning to work together, yet little is known about the processes of their collaboration. This article reports findin…

Training Future Communtiy-Based Managers
Social problems of the 1990s require Schools of Social Work to train managers who will assume leadership roles in complex, community-based agencies in communities of color. This paper examines how one School of Social Work developed a Management Laboratory field practicum with a federation of settlement houses located in a racially divided, ethnically diverse neighborhood in a major city
Housing Affordability, Stress And Single Mothers
Examining the research literature in housing, planning, and the social sciences, this paper argues that the housing crisis of the 1980s spawned a new environmental stress, housing affordability, which has had devastating consequences for economically vulnerable single mothers and their children. A conceptual framework is developed that depicts how the housing affordability dilemma generates a pathway to homelessness beset by four pinchpoints: a r…
