  3. Social Work and Abolition in the New Year

    January 5, 2023 - 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM ET

    Please join us for a virtual public conversation about the growing abolitionist movement within the social work profession. This conversation amongst social work scholars recognizes abolition as a legitimate area of academic inquiry and practice. Panelists consider the possibilities of pursuing boundary-pushing abolitionist work and the tensions of pursuing this work as a part of the social work profession. Panelists discuss how support for ongoing abolitionist struggles toward freedom is a way of realizing the profession’s commitments to anti-racism and justice and how people can get involved with this growing movement.

    The panel conversation will be followed by audience Q & A.

  16. Waiting to Exhale: Impacts of Client Oppression

    January 19, 2023 - 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM ET

    Social work practitioners are classified as health care providers and therefore responsible for delivering services to a diverse population. Practitioners with non-dominant social identities that have been historically marginalized and impacted by systemic, institutional, and interpersonal oppression can experience challenges when working with client systems that perpetuate oppression while receiving services. This course is designed to support practitioners in considering challenging situations and potential strategies to engage in to deliver effective services while also practicing self-care.

  20. European Attitudes Toward Immigrants: Exploring Anti-Immigrant Attitudes and Welfare Chauvinism in Contemporary Europe

    January 25, 2023 - 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM ET

    Hostility towards immigrants can be found in virtually every European country today. This presentation will explore the central developments and drivers of majority populations attitudes towards immigrants across Europe. This will be done on an overall European level, but also into specific European regions like the Nordic and the Central-Eastern European regions. 

    The presentation will focus on four published articles that make up David Andreas Bell’s doctoral thesis. It begins with an overview of how anti-immigrant and anti-Muslim attitudes have developed differently in Western and Eastern Europe in the period between 1990-2017. 

    It will also explore the concept of welfare chauvinism, i.e. majority populations’ hesitation to grant the benefits of the welfare state to immigrants. It will show how a country’s economic conditions may or may not be important for understanding welfare chauvinistic attitudes. Following this we zoom in to the Nordic region to explore how the distinction between strict and moderate forms of welfare chauvinism are important for understanding the phenomenon in Sweden, Norway and Finland. 

    The presentation ends with an exploration of racist attitudes in Hungary, Poland and the Czech Republic. It will show how these attitudes were already prevalent before the so-called refugee-crisis of 2015-2016 when the three countries became the most staunchly hostile countries in the EU to receiving refugees.
