“…The h -index is a cumulative indicator of scholarship impact (Huggins-Hoyt, 2018; Huggins-Hoyt, Holosko, Briggs, & Barner, 2014). Huggins-Hoyt (2018) says that the h -index is comprised of two key factors: the number of papers published and number of citations per published paper. The average 10-year h -index of the deans of the top 50 schools of social work are included in the third column of Table 3.…”

“…Given the roles that African Americans have played (see Allen et al, 2018;Hoyt, in this special section of the scholarly impacts of African American social work scholars) as early as Du Bois, we ought not to abandon the richness they contribute to social work (Bowles, Hopps, and Clayton., 2016;Hopps, 1982). This important social welfare theme requires deliberate attention.…”

This article presents data from an exploratory study of the demographic and published scholarship profiles of the deans and university provosts of the top 50 schools of social work as ranked by the 2016 U.S. News and World Report ratings. Method: The authors used an exploratory design to conduct a content analysis of the demographic and scholarship characteristics of the deans and provosts of the 50 top schools of social work. Results: The data show that the majority of deans and provosts of the top 50 schools of social work are Caucasian. The frequency of mentions of African Americans and other ethnically diverse groups in published articles by deans is uneven. Implications: This study highlights recommendations to enhance the opportunities for deanships among racially diverse faculty and to guide further research that explores the reasons for lack of racially diverse candidates selected as deans of schools of social work.

“…First, there is a countervailing voice and response to the assumed indifference to the experience of Black scholars. Allen, Epps, Guillory, Suh, and Bonous-Hammarth’s (2000) groundbreaking study of African American faculty members across the United States generated a trajectory of research investigating Black scholars, including investigations into fields such as social work (Huggins-Hoyt, Holosko, Briggs, & Barner, 2017) and nursing (Whitfield-Harris, Lockart, Zoucha, & Alexander, 2017). In many ways, the world is different 34 years on for Black academicians; in other ways, it is not.…”

William Banks’ 1984 article “Afro-American Scholars in the University” situated Black faculty at predominantly White institutions in a milieu noting the uses and misuses of Black scholars, constituencies in conflict, the range of responses from Black scholars, and the standards and realities for their advancement in academia. Banks further discussed the stigma of affirmative action and the burden of symbolism for Black faculty. This article, written in the #BlackLivesMatter and Trump era, engages with the same questions that Banks raised 34 years prior. This response expands the context to the field of urban education, and Black urban educators in the academy particularly, through an analysis of community engagement experiences, the burdens of cultural taxation, and the impact of affirmative action in a post-Fisher political context. Incorporating events both inside and outside of academia, the author considers the centrality of creating spaces of resistance and leveraging the gains for Black academics over the past three decades to alter the standards of the academy to support Black scholars and their allies.

“…Only recently in social work has a resurgence of inquiries into the research productivity of African American faculty emerged (Holosko et al, 2016; Huggins-Hoyt, 2017; Huggins-Hoyt et al, 2015). Earlier studies on this topic, conducted primarily by Schiele (1991, 1995), found that African American social work faculty produced slightly fewer publications than their Caucasian colleagues.…”

This study explored the scholarship experiences of top-ranked African American faculty in schools of social work. Method: Qualitative interviews were conducted with N ¼ 10 top-ranked African American faculty identified as achieving considerable productivity and impact of scholarship. Findings: Four major themes were identified, each of which had 2-3 subcategories. These included (1) mentorship, (2) collaboration, (3) time, and (4) strategic planning. The data revealed that of these identified themes, mentorship was the most prominent, and collaboration, although important, was the least. Implications: The noted experiences and strategies highlighted in this study could be of great utility for those seeking to enhance their scholarly productivity and impact, particularly for (a) junior faculty, (b) African American faculty, and (c) doctoral student researchers and candidates.
