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…
Introduction to Research
Disability as Microcosm
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
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
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
Multiculturalism and Disability
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…

Aids Prevention in a Rural American Indian Population
This paper presents an innovative AIDS prevention program that was conducted in a rural American Indian community. The project consisted of three phases: Needs Assessment and Planning, Implementation, and Follow-Up. Through a collaborative process, project staff and community members and leaders developed and implemented culturally valued and credible sources to promote awareness of the AIDS epidemic and to reduce high-risk behavior. Following th…
Rural Elderly Women's Attitudes Toward Professional and Governmental Assistance
The study presented here examined the attitudes of 218 rural elderly women toward receiving professional and governmental assistance. The results indicated that although the respondents had little familiarity with governmental programs, they were generally in favor of increased assistance for people in need. The relationship of these constructs to age, income, education, and marital status is discussed, as are the implications for social work pra…
Health
The study presented here examined how 218 elderly rural women defined and sought to maintain their health and examined the extent to which social networks, age, endurance, adaptation, and proactivity are related to health. It found that the respondents viewed health as the absence of illness and considered giving and productivity essential to their health
Promoting Self Determination for Persons with Developmental Disabilities
As community inclusion efforts continue to develop, the recognition of the capacity and rights of persons with cognitive and learning difficulties to participate in planning their own programs has been increasingly acknowledged by providers. This paper presents a needs assessment which was conducted with a small group of people with disabilities, to ascertain their perspectives on community integration for the purpose of social and recreational a…

Training Trainers
This article describes the development, implementation, and evaluation of an innovative "train-the-trainers" social work program for organizing services for children with AIDS and their caregivers in an urban setting. Based on prior empirical research and definition of problems and needs derived from community members and service providers, a conference to train trainers was conducted. Our preliminary evaluation suggests that the trainees rated f…
