Racism and sexism in social work practice: an empirical view

Abstract

A review was made of the data available in the social work literature on patterns of board, administrative, and staff deployment of minorities and women from the 1960s to the present. These findings are of central concern to administrators who are in a unique position to influence both policy and practice as they relate to affirmative action. The twin goals of eliminating racism and sexism have become important on the liberal-humanitarian agenda within the last decade; however, their position still remains somewhat precarious, even in the field of social work.
