A Call for Action: Latinxs in Social Work Education
Calvo, Rocío; Ortiz, Larry; Villa, Patricia; Baek, Kelly
Journal of Teaching in Social Work, v38 n3 p263-276 2018
This study examines the need for a culturally prepared social workforce to serve the nation's largest minority group and provides recommendations to address this burgeoning issue. Using the same goal of population parity established by the 2007 Task Force on Latinos in Social Work Education, the authors (a) present an update on Latinxs presence in social work programs, (b) propose a theoretical framework and a conceptual paradigm to prepare future social workers to properly serve Latinx communities, and (c) introduce a case study designed to systematically address this issue.
