Description
Am appointed to update this and ongoing bibliiographical and correspondence work had continued in 2019-2020 at about 2-3 hours a week, but have not completed updates to the 2016 publications yet. The publication of my 2019 A Needs-based Partial Theory of Human Injustice means I am now a contributor to the this body of theory in my own right. In September 2017 I was re-appointed to do updates for both the Encyclopedia of Social Work entry on human needs and the Oxford Bibliographies entry on Human Needs. As of Spring 2019, I've completed my literature review and have a draft of the Bibliography but have not yet completed this. I began the initial bibliiographical work over the holidays but had to discontinue due to a schedule change from two to four preps in Spring 2018, but I resumed work in April 2018, after finalizing a publication I submitted to a journal on human injustice. IN Fall 2018 I had to revise my journal article and this held back work. Athough the below material remains relevant, this Fall I contributed an article that makes an important further contribution theoretically, both to the theory of microaggerssions and via the first published statement of my theory of human injustice as caused by oppression, dehumanization and exploitation. • Theoretical contribution: Contributed substantially via work deemed service in nature to the theoretical foundation of the professional of social work via the following activities since arriving at Cleveland State University: Co-authored the first ever entry on human needs, an 8500 word entry in the Encyclopedia of Social Work (2008, see Academic Publications); Authored the entry (a peer-reviewed annotated bibliography, edited by Prof. Sam Mullen of Columbia University School of Social work) on human needs in Oxford Bibliographies Online: Social Work (2010); authored and submitted Fall 2014 a 21,000 word entirely new sole authored entry Human Needs: Overview to the Encyclopedia of Social Work, which following peer review was published April 2016 as a 14,000 word entry and as one of the few substantial entries made open access for global availability; authored an expanded peer-reviewed 15,000 word Oxford Bibliographies Online: Social Work (2016), published April 2016. Concurrently advocated via contributions to the formal process of feedback on the Council on Social Work Education for inclusion of language about human needs, which was absent in the 2008 standards. Specifically recommended that the following phrase be included: “knowledge of theories of human need and social justice.” This phrase was included in the final draft of the standards and is now for the first time a required knowledge area for social work education. My work in this area has been internationally recognized in several ways recently: (1) My Encyclopedia of Social Work Entry was cited in the Cambridge Journal of Economics by Ian Gough in September 2015 (based upon its earlier acceptance, although floods in India a request for shortening of the entry prevented publication until April 2016); (2) I was invited to participate by Dr. Ryan Watkins of George Washington University in the international What Are Needs Team and helped recruit half of the members including prominent economists, philosophers, psychologists and political scientists. This academic year long dialogue, exchange of papers, etc. has produced well over 100,000 words of discussion, to which I have contributed approximately 20,000 words; (3) In his letter of support submitted with my dossier in Fall 2015, Ian Gough, Professor Emeritus, University, now of London School of Economics wrote referred to my contributions as groundbreaking and that they represent a “unique and original space in contemporary social work theory.”| Period | 2007 → … |
