Harty, J. S. Social work history: Lessons for doctoral education in divisive times (Invited keynote speaker). Group for the Advancement of Doctoral Education in Social Work 2023 Annual Conference, Arlington, TX.
In this keynote presentation, we will delve into the complex history of the social work profession and its relationship to white supremacy, colonialism, and racism. Drawing on lessons from our shared history, we will explore how social work has both perpetuated and responded to historical atrocities between the 1860s and today, with a particular focus on the ethical dilemmas that social workers have faced when decisions of conscience challenge the law and professional values. We will discuss the resistance efforts made by historically marginalized populations and the social work profession itself against inequality in pursuit of social and racial justice. By understanding the origins of the term "social work" and what it means to populations historically left out of dominant Eurocentric social work efforts, we can equip social work doctoral students with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate such complex ethical dilemmas in promoting a more civil, equitable, and just society. This keynote presentation is an important forum for purposeful dialogue on how we can draw on the lessons of social work history to prepare doctoral students for the challenges of today's divisive times.

Chair
Kim, Y., & Harty, J. S. Racial and ethnic disparities in overlapping systems: Exploring differentials in child welfare, criminal justice, and child support policies (Invited session chair). Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management 44th Annual Research Conference, Washington, D.C.
More policy attention has been paid to how effective human service programs are than to how equitably those programs are implemented. Although previous research provides suggestive evidence on ways in which program operations and treatment can induce disparities for socioeconomically marginalized groups, especially racial and ethnic minorities, it is not yet conclusive. This panel consists of four presentations that explicitly focus on whether and how racial and ethnic disparities arise in human services programs. All papers look at racial disparities resulting from low-income families’ involvement in overlapping systems, including the criminal legal system, child welfare, and family court. The first paper, “Overlapping Systems: Race and Ethnic Disparities in Parental Rights Termination Following Incarceration,” looks at the nexus between the criminal justice system and child welfare system involvement, both of which are common among families with racial and ethnic minority backgrounds. The paper examines the association between incarceration and loss of parental rights, whether the link varies across racialized groups, and, if it varies, why. The second paper, “The Legal Circuitry of Inequality: A Legal Census of Child Support Enforcement in California Law,” extends the connection of criminal justice policy to child support. The paper discusses the legal capacity of child support enforcement and its proximity to monetary sanctions as legal punishments that are disparate across racialized groups. The third paper, “Driver’s License Suspensions, Social Compliance, and the Reproduction of Racial Inequality,” brings a broader perspective to explore geographic variability in the use of drivers’ license suspensions. The paper investigates whether and how punishment for “social noncompliance” ironically creates additional structural barriers to compliance, especially for racially and ethnically marginalized communities. The final paper, “Understanding Racial Disparities in Child Support Arrears,” focuses on structural issues in the child support system. The paper describes racial and ethnic disparities both in mechanisms in the setting of the order through which noncustodial parents are penalized and in the link between these mechanisms and noncompliance that can lead to consequential penalties. All papers employ unique and rich data from administrative records to legislative code. The papers also leverage multiple research methods, from quantitative analyses of individual-level and zip-code level data and (qualitative) legal analysis. The chair, presenters and discussants reflect diversity across lines of race/ethnicity, gender, region, affiliation, and discipline. The panel’s chair and discussants are experts in practice and scholarship who have been particularly dedicated to the topic of racial and ethnic justice. The panel contributes to addressing fundamental issues pervasive in human services programs and opens up the opportunity to engage the audience in this timely and imperative discussion.

DeCoursey, J., & Harty, J. S. Reconnecting youth to education and employment: Incorporating multiple disciplines and methods to synthesize the research and enhance innovation (Invited session discussant). Association for Public Policy Analysis & Management 44th Annual Research Conference, Washington, D.C.
In the United States, approximately 4.8 million young people between the ages of 16 and 24 are neither employed nor in school. These young people are often referred to as “disconnected youth” or “opportunity youth.” The process of disconnection and reconnection from education and employment is complex, influenced by diverse and interconnected structural, system, community, familial, and individual factors. Relatedly, diverse research disciplines, study methods, public policies, and interventions exist to identify and address the ways youth connect to education and employment. The papers on this panel will describe four distinct approaches to synthesizing what is known about youth disconnection and reconnection and explore how to apply the findings to advance policy, interventions, and future policy research. The projects and their associated papers describe unique approaches and distinct methods to integrating knowledge across a wide range of disciplines including education, labor, developmental psychology, family and child policy, justice policy, and poverty and income policy, among other fields. The first paper lays the groundwork for the panel by describing findings from an evidence gap map that systematically summarizes the available research about programs in the United States and the practices used to support young people who experience disconnection from school and work during their transition to adulthood. The findings from the evidence gap map show that most programs incorporate comprehensive approaches that integrate knowledge across a range of fields to address disconnection. The second paper will explore disconnection from a wider lens, presenting findings from simulations of public policies and large public programs aimed at improving the ways young people may move on an upward or downward path of economic mobility. The findings provide a sense of how various policy interventions including, for example, education and criminology, might benefit youth and identify strategies and interventions that policymakers and the public may view as worthy of further investment. The third paper stays focused on data analytics, zooming in on findings about the development of a casework tool that one comprehensive program for young people who experience the child welfare and justice system is using to tailor education, employment, housing, and social support services to suit each youth’s circumstances. The tool uses participant and program data and quasi-experimental analytic techniques to generate individualized and interactive developmental, behavioral, educational, and employment service recommendations and milestones for each participant. The final paper re-focuses on young peoples’ voices and uses participatory action research to explore the ways young people who experience homelessness describe their employment experiences and perspectives on their careers. The findings highlight a broad range of opportunities – through both practice and policy approaches – to further support youth facing homelessness on their journeys toward self-sufficiency. Taken together, the panel will reinforce the central theme that an interdisciplinary approach – both in terms of methods applied and how multiple disciplines intersect to influence how young people disconnect and reconnect - strengthens understanding and creates new opportunities for problem solving and innovation.

This session will explore the importance of social work history in today's divisive times. The main focus of this session will be on how faculty can leverage this history to bring about positive change. Attendees will get a deeper understanding of the historical roots of social work, including the profession's negative impact on marginalized communities, as well as the contributions of social workers and communities of color that have been erased from the profession's history. The session aims to inspire faculty to incorporate social work history into their doctoral education curricula and to use this history as a catalyst for social justice activism and action.
