Item Afrocentricity Theory Revisited: An Alternative Framework for Assisting Black Youth(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2015) Lateef, HusainThe current paper explores Afrocentricity theory as an alternative non-western framework to guide social work practice with Black American youth. Very little research has been conducted in recent years concerning Afrocentricity, one of few non-western African theoretical frameworks employed by social work practitioners. This paper provides clarity on what is the theory of Afrocentricity, by providing an overview of the theory’s historical foundations and assumptions. This paper concludes with an application example of the use of Afrocentricity theory within a prevention program for Black youth.Item Intersectional Social Work Perspectives on the Systemic Killing of Black Men(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2016) Thomas, De'Shay; Lateef, Husain; Cronin, Travis W.Three doctoral students in social work with differing positionalities came together to condemn the systemic killing of Black men. This condemnation is codified through reflexive narratives of their experiences. These authors align their narratives with the National Association of Social Workers code of ethics (2008) and with an intersectional perspective. These social workers reflect on how they became conscious of the systemic killing of Black men and call for social workers and the social work profession to work towards a more robust set of protections for Black lives.Item PERSPECTIVES ON SOCIAL WORK VOLUME 11 (FALL 2015)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2015) Lanesskog, Deirdre; Paceley, Megan S.; Kang, Sung-wan; Lux, Emily; Prock, Kristen A.; Cummings, Cristy E.; DeNuccio, Alec; Hindes, Kailey L.; Hughes, Anne K.; Lateef, Husain; Peña, Stephanie Lechuga; Klawetter, Susanne; Begun, Stephanie; Brown, Stephanie; O'Neill, Elizabeth A.This is the full-text volume of Perspectives on Social Work, vol. 11 (Fall 2015).Item Perspectives on Social Work Volume 12 (Spring 2016)(University of Houston Graduate College of Social Work, 2016) Walsh, Matthew A.; Holman, Elizabeth G.; Paceley, Megan S.; Peterson, Heather Leona; Thomas, De'Shay; Lateef, Husain; Cronin, Travis W.; Moon, IngyuThis is the full-text volume of Perspectives on Social Work, vol. 12 (Spring 2016).
