An Antiracist/Anti-Oppressive Framework for Social Work Research

An Antiracist/Anti-Oppressive Framework for Social Work Research meets the need for a new framework in social work research, one which places antiracist and anti-oppressive principles at the forefront. This textbook provides foundational content, thorough analysis of research methods, and encourages critical reflections on the intersection of racism, oppression, and research methodologies.

The book examines ethical guidelines, evidence-based practice, measurement techniques, and data collection strategies, integrating quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods research. It features reflective pieces from social work researchers and practitioners alongside case studies of social work students applying antiracist/anti-oppressive principles in research. This approach provides real-world applications and engages readers with practical exercises, fostering deeper understanding and introspection on the transformative nature of research.

Aligned with the CSWE 2022 Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards (EPAS), An Antiracist/Anti-Oppressive Framework for Social Work Research is ideal for courses and programs with a focus on social work research. The book is part of the Cognella Series on the Foundations of Anti-Racist Social Work, a collection of textbooks that recognize racism as a complex and ongoing societal issue and offer readers anti-racist frameworks to apply to social work practice.
