Abstract:
This paper explores the concept of racial microaggressions, everyday slights and offensive behaviors experienced by people of color, particularly focusing on their manifestation within social work education programs. Black social work students, in particular, frequently encounter instances tied to stereotypes about their intellectual abilities, perpetuating historical prejudices and contributing to mental health challenges such as anxiety and impostor phenomenon (IP). The historical trauma endured by Black individuals adds a distinct layer to the struggles faced by Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) students in social work education. Despite the evident impact, there exists a significant gap in scholarship addressing these issues, emphasizing the urgent need for the social work profession to confront and comprehend how implicit biases and racial microaggressions impede the success of Black social work students. This theoretical exploration aims to spark vital dialogue on the manifestations of implicit biases and racial microaggressions, probing their link to feelings of IP and historical trauma. Central to this inquiry is the examination of the critical consciousness framework\'s efficacy in social work education, uncovering its role in raising awareness among professionals regarding their inadvertent perpetuation of oppressive systems. By leveraging this framework, the paper seeks to unearth structures of oppression and privilege, promoting awareness of unintentional complicity in upholding these structures. Recommendations align with the critical consciousness framework, advocating for future dialogues and the implementation of effective microaggression scales to incorporate and analyze frequencies and the impact of racism in social work research.
摘要:
本文探讨了种族微侵略的概念,有色人种所经历的日常轻视和冒犯行为,特别关注他们在社会工作教育计划中的表现。黑人社会工作学生,特别是,经常遇到与他们智力能力的刻板印象有关的实例,延续历史偏见,并导致心理健康挑战,如焦虑和冒充现象(IP)。黑人所遭受的历史创伤为黑人所面临的斗争增添了独特的一层,土著,和有色人种(BIPOC)学生在社会工作教育。尽管有明显的影响,解决这些问题的奖学金存在很大差距,强调社会工作行业迫切需要面对和理解内隐偏见和种族微侵略如何阻碍黑人社会工作学生的成功。这一理论探索旨在引发关于内隐偏见和种族微侵略表现的重要对话,探索他们与知识产权和历史创伤的联系。这项调查的核心是对批判性意识框架在社会工作教育中的功效的审查,揭示其在提高专业人士对他们无意中延续压迫系统的认识方面的作用。通过利用这个框架,本文试图发掘压迫和特权的结构,促进对维护这些结构的无意共谋的认识。建议与批判性意识框架保持一致,倡导未来的对话和实施有效的微观侵略量表,以纳入和分析种族主义在社会工作研究中的频率和影响。
