Fordham GSS Assistant Professor Kimberly Hudson, Ph.D., just published the first formal evaluation of social work literature on the topic of gendered racism.
The article, titled “Social Work Literature and Gendered Racism: A Scoping Review,” was published in Social Work Research.
Hudson and co-researchers conducted the scoping review on peer-reviewed journal articles including the term “gendered raci*”. Their search consisted of articles published by social work scholars or journals, dating back to 1991.
“Several aspects of gendered racism were represented, including gendered racial socialization, gendered racial stereotypes, gendered racial microaggressions, structural or context-specific gendered racism, and gendered racial stress,” the article reads.
However, Hudson et al found that several populations are underrepresented in social work literature on gendered racism, including Indigenous, Latine, transgender, and nonbinary people.
