The social work profession in the United States is striving to advance antiracism amidst increasing threats of white supremacist violence. However, tensions and paradoxes in the contexts of academic research and knowledge development, education and teaching, and service undermine the profession’s efforts. Structural or institutional processes—in higher education broadly and in schools of social work specifically—shape who publishes research, educates, and serves, and how labor is evaluated and rewarded. We identify practical recommendations to advance antiracism while cautioning against overemphasizing the responsibility of individual actors. Recommendations include prioritizing and generously funding scholarship on white supremacy and antiracism, providing clinical and adjunct faculty with sufficient remuneration and supports to excel in teaching, joining with students in protest against oppressive conditions in higher education, and equalizing rewards for service in accordance with those for research. Social workers must work proactively across multiple contexts to realize our professional commitment to dismantling white supremacy and advancing antiracism.

T he Journal of the Society for Social Work and Research ( JSSWR) celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019, and despite the pandemic that followed, the past 2 years have been the most productive in the journal’s history. In 2020 and 2021, we received a record 308 submissions; at the same time, we reduced our average time to first decision to just 25 days andmaintained our selectivity, accepting just 15% of all articles. We also expanded the journal’s page count to better accommodate the increasing number of submissions and added a “Just Accepted” section that publishes unedited articles online upon acceptance. And, our Impact Factor has increased to 1.603—our highest yet. We are grateful to the authors, reviewers, and editors who powered this progress. In the year ahead, we will continue expanding our editorial and publishing capacity, which will reduce the time to publication for accepted articles.We have also diversified our editorial board and will continue to diversify our pool of reviewers. The most noteworthy change is in the journal’s mission. Over the past 2 years, the JSSWR editorial board hasworked in close partnershipwith the Society for Social Work and Research Committee on Publications to advance JSSWR’s commitment to antiracist scholarship.

Researchers have been more successful at identifying racial and ethnic disparities than preventing and eliminating these disparities. Meeting the urgent need to increase equity requires a broad interdisciplinary paradigm shift to antiracist research. Antiracist research is an action-oriented paradigm that assumes that racism is maintained within institutions; seeks to dismantle racism using nonracist research methods; and requires that study findings are disseminated to, benefit, and empower the target population. The ultimate goal of antiracist research is to dismantle racism and achieve a just and equitable world. This paper defines antiracist research and explains how it can be used to dismantle the racism embedded in research practices. We offer a conceptual framework, including 10 foundational principles for understanding and practicing antiracist research. We also discuss challenges that antiracist researchers often encounter along the antiracist research lifecycle. We conclude by providing several practical recommendations for principal investigators, members of the research team, funders, and universities to consider as they conceptualize, implement, and evaluate their antiracist research activities. This article has the potential to help reduce inequities and disparities via an urgently needed paradigm shift in research.

The COVID-19 pandemic has heightened the level of uncertainty experienced by many young people around the world and has complicated the developmental tasks associated with the transition to adulthood, including leaving home, completing education, and obtaining full-time employment. We are just beginning to understand the more immediate effects of the pandemic, but research from previous crises and economic recessions suggests that there will likely also be important long-term social, racial, and economic implications for young people who are coming of age today. In this commentary, we argue that it is critical for researchers interested in social welfare policy and practice to gather and analyze in-depth data on young people’s employment experiences to be able to fully capture, understand, and more effectively address the long-term consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Objective: Broken windows theory has been applied in public health to understand how neighborhood disadvantage contributes to health risk and disparities. This longitudinal study examined the relationship between a broken windows index (i.e., a proxy for neighborhood disadvantage) and sexual behaviors and whether sexual sensation-seeking behaviors and parental monitoring moderated that relationship. Method: Participants were 188 African American adolescent girls incarcerated in a short-term detention facility in Atlanta, GA. Participants completed audio computer-assisted self-interviews at baseline, 3, and 6 months; interviews assessed neighborhood disadvantage, sexual risk behaviors, sexual sensation seeking, parental monitoring, and demographics. Results: Longitudinal findings indicate that the broken windows index was associated with risky sexual behaviors (e.g., condomless sex and sex while using drugs). Parental monitoring (i.e., knowledge of child activities and friends) moderated the relationship between broken windows and sexual risk behaviors. Conclusion: Future interventions should address underlying mechanisms linking structural disadvantage to sexual behaviors.

Ample scholarship has been dedicated to the ways that research has been harmful to Indigenous communities, and challenges faced by historically excluded scholars from across racial groups are well documented. In this work we consider the role of Indigenous peoples, knowledges, and practices within a framework of antiracist social work research. Indigenous peoples occupy a liminal space whereby we have been constructed as both political identities as well as a racialized category. We question the adequacy of antiracism alone as a framework for addressing the erasure, invisibility, and violence against Indigenous peoples and knowledges in research and scholarship. We write as Indigenous scholars focused on Indigenous health equity research and start by placing ourselves in relation to the content. We describe the role of settler colonialism in the racialization of Indigenous peoples and then turn to considering decolonizing and Indigenist research in relation to antiracist research. We end with recommended actions for individuals and institutions to support Indigenous scholarship in their efforts to advance antiracist research.
