Scripture
Get PDFThe Christian Scriptures consist of both Old and New Testaments, which are viewed as a unity containing God’s revelation for human salvation. While Christians believe that “the Word of God… is presented and shows its force supremely in the writings of the New Testament,” they also maintain that the books of the Old Testament, “written as they are under divine inspiration, retain lasting value” (Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation §§17, 14).

Identity, Role Experience, and Relationships: An Exploration of Relational Health with Faculty of Color in Social Work Education
Get PDFThis banded dissertation explores the relationship between identity and role experience for faculty of color in social work education. The purpose of this three-product dissertation is to investigate phenomena, which subjugates these faculty and impedes their relational connections. The study of relational health, that is, the condition of relationships and its psychosocial and professional impact for faculty of color exposes external factors which compromise relational confidence and impact role performance. Relational-Cultural theory (RCT) and intersectionality theory are combined as an integrated theoretical framework to understand interactions within the context of relationships. The first product of this banded dissertation is a conceptual paper titled, “When Your Faculty Member is a Person of Color: Relational Cultural Considerations for Social Work Programs.” Through a comprehensive literature review, this paper explores personal, historical, and professional experiences uniquely faced by people of color in the United States. Relational cultural considerations are presented for social work programs.
The second product is a qualitative research study titled, “Exploring the relationship between racial and ethnic identity and role experience for faculty of color in social work education.” The purpose of the study was to explore the relational cultural concepts of connection and disconnection for these faculty and the impact on role experience. Faculty of color at CSWE schools of social work recalled relational experiences with students, colleagues and within institutions. Data were analyzed using inductive thematic analysis. Findings suggest there are residual effects of disconnection that are historical, psychological, and relational. Bias, white supremacy, mistrust and communication are significant contributors to relational reality for faculty of color.
The third product of this banded dissertation is a workshop titled, Identity Matters: Exploring Relational Health with Faculty of Color. The objectives of the workshop were to discuss relational health as a concept of well-being, identify growth fostering and oppressive relational factors, and explore the potential impact on self and perceived identity as contributors to well-being. This workshop was presented at the National Association of Social Workers PA chapter Annual conference on October 26, 202
Religious Affiliation and the Social Work Professional: Room for Diversity?
Get PDFThis Banded Dissertation focuses on religious affiliation, professional identity, and collegial relationships in examining attitudes and perceptions held by social work professionals concerning religious affiliation in an effort to examine respect for diversity within the profession. This was accomplished through a conceptual framework looking through the lens of the NASW Code of Ethics, the CSWE EPAS competencies, and the Social Identity Approach, a quantitative study, and a workshop presentation.
Product One is a conceptual manuscript examining the literature regarding ethical behavior and diversity as it relates to religious affiliation, professional identity, and collegial relationships within social work. Conclusions reached include that integrating religion and spirituality content into social work curriculum continues to be a challenge, views about incorporation of religion into practice vary, and there are some experiences of perceived negative treatment due to religious affiliation.
Product Two is a quantitative study which surveyed 199 licensed clinical social workers-board approved clinical supervisors (LCSW-BACS) in Louisiana. The study explored challenges social workers perceived they had experienced in their social work practice as a result of their religious affiliation. A one-way analysis of variance was used to assess the relationship between age and years of professional experience with perceived challenges due to their religious affiliation, which revealed no statistical significance. There were, however, two noteworthy differences in the results in which t-tests were used: 1) males indicated they had experienced challenges more often than females, and 2) those who identified with a Christian religious affiliation perceived they had experienced challenges less often than those affiliated with non-Christian religions.
Lastly, Product Three consisted of a workshop presentation at the annual meeting of the North American Association of Christians in Social Work (NACSW) on November 7, 2020. This presentation included information from the conceptual manuscript along with some preliminary results from the research conducted for Product Two. Limited information exists examining religious affiliation, the social worker, and perceived challenges they experience. As such, further research is needed to have an understanding. Content must be incorporated more intentionally into the curriculum of social work education and discussions surrounding religious affiliation so as to better prepare for work in the field both with clients and colleagues. Understanding all facets of diversity and exploring one’s own attitudes and biases must take place in order to maintain a respect for differences thus impacting positively behavior towards both clients and colleagues

The Burden We Carry: The Lived Experience of Museum Professionals of Color With the Ideology of White Normativity in Museums, A Grounded Theory Study
Get PDFThis research study sought to better understand the lived experience of People of Color (POC) professionals that work in the museum field. While museums have increased the emphasis diversity, equity, access, and inclusion (DEAI), I have personally experienced marginalization stemming from the operational norms, values, and attitudes that are prevalent in the museum field. Moreover, colleagues in my network that identify as POC have experienced similar phenomenon. The goal of this study is to develop a theory of these professional’s experiences and to create a better understanding of how museums can address oppressive practices to create more inclusive and equitable spaces. This study relied on personal interviews with POC museum professionals that agreed to share their experiences and perceptions of the ideology of museums. I then draw on principles of critical theory and organizational development to present a theory that addresses the misalignment between the museum fields desired inclusion of POC museum professionals and the harmful experience caused by the current ideology accepted in museums
