Objective: The COVID-19 pandemic has been associated with significant impacts to daily life and diverse experiences of loss among college and university students. The aim of the current study is to describe social work students’ experiences of loss and grief following the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic and explore the ways these experiences may have differed by program degree, modality, and background characteristics. Method: A cross-sectional survey (N=354) administered with social work students across degree programs during April–May 2020 provided both quantitative and qualitative open-ended responses. We used a convergent mixed-methods design to merge inductively analyzed qualitative data and quantitative demographic and background data. Results: Key findings highlight students’ varied and compounded experiences of loss during the COVID-19 pandemic, with differences in loss experienced by program modality (traditional, hybrid, or online) and age. Conclusion: Findings suggest the need for social work education programmatic responses for students’ overlapping experiences of loss and grief from the COVID-19 pandemic and future academic disruptions, with particular attention to students of younger age and differing program modality.

This article introduces a special section of the Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research devoted to the development and dissemination of antiracist research. Antiracist research is defined as systematic theorizing, inquiry, intervention development, and program implementation that exposes, rejects, dismantles, and/or remedies racism, colonialism, antisemitism, and xenophobia with the goal of promoting racial justice. Although the social work profession values social justice and acknowledges racial inequities, there is a paucity of critical discourse and scholarship on antiracism. Based on a 2021 Society for Social Work and Research preconference session, this special section describes conceptual models, antiracism interventions, methodological strategies, and recommendations for antiracist research. Articles include critical discourse on current evidence and methodologies used in antiracist research, challenges to sustaining antiracist practices in academia, dismantling white supremacy, and the implementation of antiracist principles in social work research. This special section also includes recommendations for developing and disseminating antiracist research, supporting underrepresented scholars, and retaining social work researchers who conduct antiracist research. The conceptual models, methodologies, and recommendations proposed are instrumental to developing and sustaining an antiracist research agenda in social work. Acknowledging our power, privilege, and positionality is critical to authentically advancing antiracism in social work research.

The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet the basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who have been historically marginalized and oppressed. Race is a fundamental determinant of many outcomes that are prioritized by the field. Social work’s commitment to social justice and efforts to advance racial equity in critical areas such as socioeconomics and health are especially salient at this social and political moment in history. To meaningfully advance equity, social work researchers and practitioners must account for and explicitly address legacies of racism. To this end, this paper proposes that social work researchers consider the use of two theoretical frameworks—fundamental cause theory and critical race theory—that provide a conceptual framing of racism and socioeconomic status, which may be used to guide research and practice efforts to disrupt systems of racial oppression.
