Promoting public health through community engagement: Embracing the journey

“…Initially, the students found it difficult to conceptualize how cultural, language, social, economic, and religious dynamics complicated the panelists' access to health services. The students shared that discovering the continuing significance of race (Schiele & Hopps, 2009) and exploring their white privilege were uncomfortable, unanticipated 'excursions' on this journey (Pewewardy, 2007). They were overwhelmed by the immigrants' painful narratives and perceptions of being `trapped,' `discounted,' and 'misinformed' while attempting to negotiate health care services in the community.…”

The Profession’s Role in Meeting its Historical Mission to Serve Vulnerable Populations

“…Student activists, many of whom were students of color, pushed for a more relevant curriculum and diverse faculty. Some professors made alliances with the poor and found pathways to help change the social work academic establishment (Schiele & Hopps, 2009). Federal funding became more available to schools of social work after World War II and had influence on the curriculum, funding for faculty and financial aid to students.…”

“…Yet, concern about the underrepresentation of African Americans and the absence of any focus on race and racial consciousness have been important social welfare themes raised by 19th-century African American scholars in sociology such as W. E. B. Du Bois (Bowles, Hopps, & Clayton, 2016) and 20th-century African American social work scholars such as Hopps (1982), Pinderhughes (1989), and Schiele (Schiele & Hopps (2009).
