Dear Colleagues, I am delighted to share information about our 2020-2021 graduates of the Joint PhD Program in Social Work and Social Science at the University of Michigan. We are excited to introduce you to our graduates. We believe they will be the change agents ushering in the next wave of innovation in social work research, practice, and policy. As you know, the Joint PhD Program in Social Work and Social Science prepares our doctoral students for teaching and research careers through the advancement of knowledge about social problems, social change, social interventions, and social welfare. Our curriculum integrates comprehensive graduate training in a specific social science discipline with advanced studies and research in various areas of social work. Therefore, we have a broad range of research areas and disciplinary specializations in which our students choose to receive expert training and experience. This year, we have a promising group of joint program graduates who are eager to reach out, raise hope, and change society. Their training and commitment to social work and social welfare will be of particular interest to your institution. As you review their curriculum vitae you will find that our graduates have published in both social work and social science journals, have presented at our national conferences such as the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) and the Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR), and have even secured funding or show promise for doing so in the near future. Please contact the Joint PhD Program Coordinator, Todd Huynh at (734) 763-5768 or via email (ssw.phd.info@umich.edu), if you would like more information about any of the doctoral candidates listed here or if we can help facilitate a meeting with them.

$15,000 $15,000 $15,000

This qualitative study examined the reintegration experiences of male former prisoners recently released from jail, prison, or a detention center in Detroit, MI, comparing their experiences against a subsample of female former prisoners, men participating in community based treatment programs, and men released into different geographic areas. To increase the overall validity of the project, we triangulated our findings against findings from interviews with a subsample of reentry service providers and the people former prisoners and community members whom former prisoners deem most important to their community reintegration experience.

Research Statement

One of the most difficult things for humans to confront when thinking about climate change is the discontinuity of it all. How can we prepare for something that represents a break from everything that we have known before? It is in this regard that Robert Brulle and Katrina Norgaard describe climate change as a potential cultural trauma. However, for many peoples, cultural trauma is not new, and settler colonialism and enslavement long ago created the dystopia that Indigenous and African American people in the US are still working to recover from. Nonetheless, the cultural traditions that survived these ongoing traumas and enabled collective survival offer instruction specifically for those communities in how to collectively survive climate change. Dissertation Research In my work, I examine what I call collective survival strategies—ways that marginalized communities have always taken care of one another—and how these strategies can help those same communities to build resilience to climate change. In my dissertation, I use qualitative methods to examine the ways in which black agrarian traditions can help African American communities in collectively surviving climate change, focusing on how African Americans have resisted cultural imperialism and dispossession by white people in building black self-reliance through agriculture, as Monica White has shown. I compare these experiences with those of other communities of color and working-class whites. By focusing on the Great Lakes region, which faces fewer direct threats from environmental change than other regions, I zero in on the social, political, and economic factors tied to climate change that imperil communities of color. Increasing gentrification, a practice of cultural imperialism and dispossession, disrupts the ability of urban communities of color to practice agrarian traditions at the exact moment that growing food on a smaller scale is recognized as increasingly important. However, in recognizing enduring agricultural traditions and the oppression under which they were formed, we can see both the root causes that must be addressed to equitably adapt to climate change—colonialism, capitalism, and white supremacy—and the historical strengths that people who have survived enslavement and a brutally racist society bring to those efforts. To effectively support climate adaptation amongst marginalized communities in the US, we need to address these historical and ongoing injustices and support collective self-determination. Scholarly Productivity My dissertation research evolved from a broader question I have been asking for the past seven years, “How can people find the cultural, spiritual and emotional sustenance needed to address the climate crisis?” I began researching this question with a qualitative project conducted at a Catholic eco-justice center, where I interviewed nuns and laypeople—who were offering hope and healing for the world— about the ways in which they coped with their own negative emotions that arose in confronting the gravity of the environmental crisis. Working with an undergraduate mentee and another colleague, we submitted this work to Affilia, and are currently revising it to resubmit. I developed the concept of collective survival strategies in a first-authored article that was published in the Journal of Community Practice. Working with a colleague, I also explored the duties that social workers have in supporting Indigenous women in protecting water in an article published in Social Work. I have seven publications, including three solo-authored, two first-authored, and two second-authored articles, in addition to the article that is currently being revised to resubmit and three manuscripts in progress. Methodology I am committed to doing work that has a direct impact on and is materially useful to communities impacted by social problems. Because of this, I strive to engage communities in my research in every

Research Statement

way possible. Although my dissertation research is primarily qualitative, my commitment to community-based participatory research (CBPR) translates into methodological range and flexibility: I use the methods needed to answer the questions that matter to impacted communities. When working with American Friends Service Committee Michigan (AFSC-MI) to address racial disparities in the use of solitary confinement in Michigan prisons, I worked with survivors of solitary confinement, undergraduate student volunteers, and a computer scientist to construct and analyze a large dataset (N=43,166) of the prison population at four points in time. I have received training in geographical information systems (GIS) analysis and data visualization techniques, which I am incorporating into my dissertation research and will use in future research to complement my quantitative and qualitative findings. I plan on using ArcGIS’s Storymaps both to immediately disseminate my dissertation findings to community members and stakeholders, and to teach students how to frame social work and sociological research so that it can have maximum impact. Theoretical Orientation My research is theoretically anchored in multiple critical frameworks, including post-colonial, black Marxist, queer, and racial ecological perspectives. My research is post-colonial both in that it considers how colonization—including enslavement—and resistance to colonization have shaped our present reality, and, in that, when examining people at the margins, we always need to return the gaze to the center, where disproportionate power to shape the margins is held. My research is black Marxist in that capitalism and racism must always be examined intersectionally, and my work explicitly focuses on processes of racist expropriation, whether in the form of environmental degradation or gentrification. My research is queer in that I critique hegemony and recognize that alternatives to hegemony are always present all around us, even if subjugated. Finally, my research is based in racial ecologies in that I recognize that communities of color have always been and will always be the leaders of work to achieve a socially just sustainability. Much of my work focuses on how to uplift, materially support, and learn from the work that communities of color are doing in non-appropriative, critically reflexive ways. Funding I have been fortunate to be in a setting that offered a great deal of competitive funding opportunities, which I have pursued to support my research agenda. I was the first social work PhD student to be awarded a Dow Sustainability Fellowship which provided $50,000 for my dissertation research. I have received an additional $39,000 in competitive internal funding during my time at U-M, including awards for public service, outstanding teaching, and best research paper. In the future, I will apply for funding from foundations and government agencies to enable my work which includes offering honoraria to participants and community partners and hiring student research assistants. Trajectory Moving forward, I will publish at least four articles from my dissertation research. I will apply for funding from the Michigan Humanities Council to create an oral histories archive documenting the lived experience of food growers I have interviewed that will be housed at the Ypsilanti District Library. I hope to involve students in creating the archive and conducting ongoing research using the archival data stored within it. Building upon this work, the next research project that I will pursue is a mixed methods study on public libraries’ role in meeting survival needs and protecting vulnerable people from weather extremes, in our current context of a defunded social welfare state and a changing climate. In this project, I will tie together political ecology, disaster studies, and library social work. I will apply to Kresge Foundation’s Environment program, the EPA’s Environmental Justice grants, and other foundations and government agencies to support this work.

Teaching Statement

“The classroom remains the most radical space of possibility in the academy.” bell hooks

During the second week of Social Change Theories, masters-level social work (MSW) students milled around the classroom to read stories that each pair of students had written to explain why a specific phenomenon exists. In twenty minutes, they had written insightful, compelling explanations about why capitalism, homelessness, patriarchy, climate change, racism, and child abuse exist. In the first week, students had expressed dread in taking this class because they hated theory and thought that they just did not “get it.” When I asked them what they thought the point of the story-telling activity was during the debrief, a student who had not yet spoken in front of the whole group raised her hand and quietly said that we were theorizing about concepts that shape social work practice. This activity exemplifies my vision for myself as a teacher, in that, by engaging students in a relatively simple collective process, I was able to demystify intimidating material, initiate a process of discovery, and open up a space for students to think about the world and root causes of injustice in radically different ways, expanding the possibilities available in their lives, their practice, and the world. I teach because I want to engage students in new ways of thinking about and being in the world. I challenge students to examine their taken for granted assumptions about why things are the way they are. When students leave my class with improved skills to think critically and communicate effectively, as well as an increased appreciation for and tolerance of complexity, I consider the class a success. I use readings that expose students to different critical ways of understanding society and social problems, and that de-center dominant narratives and voices. In class discussions, I pose questions in which there are no clear right answers to encourage us all to struggle with competing values and perspectives. I model a democratic, liberationist facilitation style, in which I treat all students with respect, recognizing and valuing the diverse wisdom and life experiences that they bring to the class, while challenging each student to think more critically. I recognize that students have very different learning needs and backgrounds and tailor my instruction to meet diverse student needs. I use an eclectic mix of classroom activities, including games, group work, journaling, creative exercises, lectures, and videos. My teaching style is heavily influenced by Freire’s liberationist pedagogy.1 Some of the most generative sessions come from simple lesson plans influenced from this tradition. In an undergraduate sociology service-learning class, I posed the question “What would it look like if everyone really saw homeless people as fully human?” A rich, deep discussion ensued in which we each discussed how we—individually and collectively—struggle to treat homeless people as human beings and how vastly different the world would look if we did. I take the “environment” part of the social work concept of “person in environment” very seriously. I mean this both in terms of my substantive focus on environmental justice, and pedagogically, in terms of process and content. My social work practice experience in group work prepared me well for tuning into group processes in the classroom. On the first day, I set up classroom dynamics very intentionally. In one MSW course, I had my students do an exercise where I asked them a series of questions such as “What best characterizes your preferred interaction style in class?” and “How do you deal with conflict in the classroom?” and then had them congregate under the answer that best fit them. They then discussed why they chose that response, first, with their peers who chose the same, and then with the rest of the class. By doing this activity on the first day, each student had interacted with most of their classmates in a fun, low stakes, and relevant way. Further, I deepened the discussion by taking a risk in identifying how our social locations shape our interactions in class when I took note of the fact that the three male-identified students were the only ones under the “I feel very comfortable with conflict in class and wish that we had more of it” response. When pointing that out, I intentionally 1

focused on how gender socialization shapes our approaches to conflict, and it led to a rich discussion about how gender homogeneity shapes the social work field. My teaching focuses intensely on understanding the environments in which people are living, including the history and root causes of social problems. It is only in gaining that understanding that we can see that the world as we know it is not the only possibility. I taught a continuing education course on human trafficking. The first half of the course examines human trafficking from a macro perspective, and after much discussion of what human trafficking is, we discuss why it exists. The participants have a structured discussion at their table where they identify the root causes of human trafficking, as well as their personal and professional relationship to those root causes, including how they are implicated in the root causes and how they try to disrupt them. Invariably, a discussion about consumer behavior ensues, and this leads to a discussion about how labor policy decisions have brought us where we are today. For example, I point out how farm workers and domestic workers do not have the same protections as other workers in the US, which leads to a discussion on how white supremacy shapes labor laws, historically and currently. In order to have such rich discussions about issues of power and privilege, I include readings and other resources that challenge students’ preconceived notions and that de-center dominant narratives. In an undergraduate sociology course on Environmental Justice I designed, I start with readings that show how marginalized communities have always resisted powerful forces that endanger their way of life. When discussing the role of racialized capitalist modernity in the advent of environmental crises, I include readings that provide perspectives from European peasants and colonized peoples globally, whose very lives, livelihoods, and communities were under assault from these transitions. For many students from different backgrounds, this is their first experience of reading history that is not written as logical, inevitable progress told from the perspective of history’s winners. I strongly prioritize holistic evaluation when assessing students’ substantive learning, critical thinking, and writing effectiveness. I assign multiple smaller assignments to ensure that students receive extensive feedback throughout the semester and deepen their learning. In Social Change Theories, students worked in groups to create a theory guide that their peers could use as a resource for their final project. We used an iterative process wherein students gave each other feedback on the helpfulness of each resource guide and revised them accordingly. In social work and sociology, high stakes topics—such as racism and sexism—dominate our discussions. While it is important to create an environment in which students feel comfortable to openly share their perspectives on these topics, focusing on comfort can unwittingly come at the expense of isolating students who are already marginalized in the classroom, and, alternatively, shutting down discussion because students with privilege are more afraid of saying something “wrong” than motivated to dig deeply into the role that oppressive structures have played in their own social contexts and histories. Rather than a “safe space,” I encourage students to think of our classroom as a “brave space,” which emphasizes “the need for courage rather than the illusion of safety.”2 During the first class, I often use a consensus-based approach to establish our community agreements, which I frame as a guide for how to treat the classroom as a space in which people and relationships matter. Creating a space in which students take risks, while knowing that I and their peers support and expect them to do so, models a very different way of being in the world—one in which students continually challenge themselves and their taken-for-granted notions, engage in critical discourse with kindness and courage, and build essential interpersonal, group, and macro practice skills. p. 141.

RESEARCH STATEMENT

In addition to my social work practice and research training, I am also trained in Women’s Studies and Sociology. As a primarily qualitative interviewer and researcher, my work focuses on amplifying the voices of those who often go unheard. I am dedicated to challenging structural inequalities by foregrounding individual narratives in practice, research, and policy. Current work. As a result of U.S.-based mandatory, preferred, and proarrest policies enacted in the 1990s, arrests rates of cisgender women using force in their intimate heterosexual relationships dramatically increased. The established system for cisgender men who perpetrated domestic violence, including time on probation, fines, and court-orders to weekly antiviolence intervention groups, were followed as a default for newly arrested women who were often also survivors of intimate partner violence. My practice-based observations and scholarship have broadly illuminated the complex experiences of diverse women who have been mandated to antiviolence programming for their use of force. My dissertation research focuses on narrative data from 51 in-depth interviews with 33 women who have had antiviolence programming contact. This work illuminates the women’s circumstances leading to their arrests, journey through the criminal legal system (CLS), child welfare system, time in antiviolence intervention, and life after. My findings demonstrate that the punitive and surveilling nature of the CLS, reproduces the abuse the women suffered in their intimate relationships. It does so through arbitrary approaches to surveillance, loss of time, and financial devastation across multiple life domains. But through relationships with each other, established during antiviolence intervention groups, the women also find sources of support and opportunities for connection. The aim of my research is to translate the women’s experiences in a manner that informs innovations in social work practice, research agendas, and social policy design; interrupting systems of power that currently govern their lives. Future directions. Locally I am working with scholars and practitioners on an evolving project investigating cisgender female intimate partner abuse and violence survivor perspectives on whether or not Batterer Intervention Programming for their male partners was effective. Nationally, I have an ongoing research collaboration with Dr. Susan L. Miller, from the University of Delaware. Our collaboration spans nearly a decade, investigating the complex area of women, of a range of identities, who have used force in their intimate relationships. Dr. Miller and I are currently working with Dr. Alesha Durfee (Arizona State University) and Leigh Goodmark, JD (University of Maryland),

RESEARCH STATEMENT

analyzing National Incident-Based Reporting System data regarding how arrest rates of women have changed over time since implementation of mandatory and preferred arrest laws, both across state jurisdictions and among states. Internationally, since December 2017, I have been working with Baptcare and Berry Street practitioners and University of Melbourne Scholars in Melbourne, Australia on a practice-research collaboration. Based on my expertise in the practice field, Baptcare leadership approached me to co-design and implement the first antiviolence intervention program in Australia for women who have used force. To date we have implemented the gender-responsive, culturally humble, and trauma informed +SHIFT program. The implementation includes three pilot cites  two urban, and one rural. At each site we are assessing program outcomes. To date we have collaboratively published a protocol paper, made policy recommendations to Family Violence Victoria, created a +SHIFT intervention curriculum, have a forthcoming evaluation paper, and Australian Feminist Law Journal publication. My practice and scholarship with the United States Air Force Family Advocacy Program (USAF-FAP) is both national and international, given the global reach of USAF bases. In 2017, I began providing technical assistance and training to USAF-FAP therapists, guiding program implementation for women who had used force. This work was due to the USAF-FAP’s decision to be the first branch of the U.S. armed services to implement this type of antiviolence programming for members of the military and their families. At the time of implementation, USAF-FAP administration agreed to begin gathering data regarding participants’ pre and post programming experiences. Dr. Susan L. Miller and I created the survey questionnaires that are used to gather data on more than 50 USAF-FAP programming locations. We are planning to compile and publish the first round of results in 2022. By foregrounding the voices of violence-involved women, my work informs social work practice, research agendas, and social policy design for the purpose of improving services, while encouraging connection and challenging entrenched systems of power. I apply this lens to my domestic, national, and international work as a practitioner-scholar.

TEACHING STATEMENT

While at the University of Michigan, I have taught graduate students in the School of Social Work, as well as undergraduates the departments of sociology and women’s studies. Fall 2019, I taught Social Work 521, Interpersonal Practice with Individuals, Families and Small Groups. One of my main career goals in returning to graduate school to pursue my joint degree in social work and sociology is the opportunity to educate and mentor the next generation of social work practitioners through a social justice lens. Social workers are not only on the frontlines of addressing individual mental health issues, they are in unique positions to promote social justice and positively address structural inequalities. With this perspective, I designed each SW521 class session in a manner that integrates diversity and social justice issues to not only educate entry-level masters social work students about a range of interpersonal practice issues and modalities, but to peak student curiosity about how social workers can and do influence the social environment. Student engagement, critical thinking in the midst of self-care, and trauma-aware teaching are core aspects of my teaching philosophy. Student Engagement My lectures and classroom activities are developed to engage students with a variety of learning styles. I begin our time together by introducing myself as a practitioner-scholar who has a strong belief in the power of group work. I then deliberately teach the class as a kind of group, all dedicated to the goal of mutually contributing to positive social change. I do so by illustrating concepts with multiple examples, often drawing on stories of my own experiences—from local, national, and international direct practice social work settings to activism—to demonstrate a point. Student feedback on my teaching evaluations and mid-term “check-ins” consistently ranks my use of “real world” experience as highly effective and life-changing in a manner that promotes and encourages connection with both practice, policy, and research issues. I supplement my lectures with multi-media PowerPoint presentations and as often as possible attempt to turn the conversation style lecture into a group dialogue by asking questions, offering time for further consideration, and encouraging self-reflection through small groups and the larger class discussions. Using a mix of humor and personalization, I try to create a classroom atmosphere that encourages participation. In all classes, I ask students to break into smaller groups so those who are uncomfortable speaking in a large class discussion have an opportunity to participate as well. I truly enjoy teaching and rely on these diverse methods to cultivate courageous spaces where students push themselves to gradually become the profession’s skilled, empathic stewards. Due to my effectiveness in the classroom, I have a number of undergraduate and graduate students who see me as an informal mentor for their professional trajectories, seeking my guidance long after they finish their time in my classroom. The opportunity to be invited into so many lives is something in which I take great pride.

TEACHING STATEMENT

Critical Thinking and Self Care My teaching techniques are grounded in a commitment to motivate my students to think critically and creatively about social problems and solutions, while gaining a grasp of social work interpersonal practice tools’ range and depth. Readings from diverse sources, with evidence-based interventions as core to practice methods, are the scaffolding of my SW 521 syllabus. This is done within the context of promoting individual self-care as students and future care givers and advocates. I find that entry-level social work masters students are eager to “know everything� about the interpersonal practice field. I do my best to harness this energy to encourage an appreciation for how broad and nuanced social work practice is, while learning entry-level basics. I encourage this lens within the context of appreciating how important it is to diversify our skill sets while engaging in self-care, both of which are critical to promoting innovative practice while discouraging professional burnout. Trauma-Aware Teaching Often times students have the desire to help others through pursuit of an MSW, due to personal experiences of enduring trauma and having lived through that trauma. With this understanding, I purposefully engage with students and promote critical thinking and self-care through what I refer to as a trauma-aware teaching lens. As important as it is to recognize the critical nature of applying a traumainformed approach to our interpersonal practice skills, it is equally important to recognize how trauma may shape learning styles and the ability to integrate information in a classroom setting. Each class session I challenge myself to reach all students, with the insight that I do not know the life journeys that have brought them to this space, but believe it is a privilege to not only interact with them while they are in the classroom, but to inspire them to continue to strive for their goals as they learn the tools necessary for affecting social change through social work practice.

Research Statement

Joyce Y. Lee

My research program integrates social work and psychology to examine family processes that support children’s development and wellbeing, especially that of children from economically disadvantaged family backgrounds. I am theoretically oriented towards family systems theory (Cox & Paley, 2003) and family stress model (Conger & Elder, 1994). These frameworks suggest that important family processes, such as interparental relationship quality and parental engagement, are linked with children’s developmental outcomes. I apply these theories and quantitative methodology to longitudinal data with samples that have been historically underrepresented, including fathers of color, unmarried couples with young children, and families with low income. Dissertation: What are the Family Processes Underlying Poverty and Child Outcomes? Although poverty is associated with deleterious child outcomes, specific family processes—especially those involving fathers’ parenting behaviors—underlying this relation are not well understood amongst families with low income, which my dissertation addresses through secondary data analysis. I utilize a 3-paper dissertation model and use data from Building Strong Families (BSF), a large and racially diverse sample of unmarried couples with children ages 0-3 years. This work is funded by a highly competitive federal Family Strengthening dissertation grant (90PR0009) from the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation, Administration for Children and Families, United States Department of Health and Human Services. In the first study of my dissertation, I tested the father-child activation relationship theory by using a personcentered analysis (i.e., latent profile analysis) to investigate the presence of fathers’ and mothers’ activation parenting—which involves intrusiveness but also moderately high levels of sensitivity, positive regard, and cognitive stimulation—and its links with preschoolers’ development. I found that activation parenting is just as beneficial to young children’s socioemotional outcomes as highly supportive parenting, challenging the common belief that supportive parenting (i.e., high in sensitivity and low in intrusiveness) originating primarily from a White majority middle-class maternal template serves as the ideal for all families. In the second study of my dissertation, I used Bayesian statistics to examine processes underlying the family stress model focusing on poverty and unmarried couples’ relationship quality. I demonstrated that material hardship—which involves everyday difficulties making ends meet (e.g., paying utility bills and rent)—operated above and beyond income poverty in its associations with increased levels of maternal depressive symptoms and destructive conflict behaviors mothers and father exhibited toward each other. Building on the findings of the second study, the third study of my dissertation will use structural equation modeling (SEM) with the BSF sample to investigate the mechanism linking material hardship, mother-father coparenting relationship quality, and preschoolers’ socioemotional outcomes. Most recently, I published the first study of my dissertation in Psychology of Men & Masculinities. The second dissertation study will be submitted to the Journal of Marriage and Family by November 2020, and the third dissertation study will be completed by April 2021. In addition to the Dissertation: What is the Evidence-Base for Father-Inclusive Parent Education Programs and Which Components Should be Included in Such Interventions? Complementing my dissertation, I have made it a point to examine and inform the development of parent education interventions that include or target fathers. In 2018, I published a systematic review in Pediatrics investigating father-inclusive evidence-informed perinatal parent education programs. I showed that the overall state of the literature is poor, emphasizing the critical need for more evidence-informed early parent education programs that target fathers

and their parenting needs. In response, I have contributed to the development of and pilot tested Text4Dad, a mentor-based interactive text messaging program aimed at supporting fathers in the Michigan Healthy Start Engaged Father home visitation program by sending weekly, individually tailored father-inclusive parenting messages. The project was funded by the Fatherhood Research and Practice Network, and the Text4Dad pilot study manuscript is being prepared for publication by December 2020. Additionally, I published in 2019 an article in Journal of Interpersonal Violence on the associations of interparental conflict with child wellbeing. I used SEM to show that while constructive conflict between mothers and fathers is linked with reduced child emotional and behavior problems, destructive conflict and intimate partner violence are linked with increased child emotional and behavior problems. These results suggest that it is critical for father-inclusive parent education programs to include family violence prevention content. In 2020, I published an article in Journal of Family Psychology on the longitudinal relationships between coparenting and father engagement. I used SEM to demonstrate that positive mother-father coparenting relationship quality in families with low income is linked with increased levels of both residential and nonresidential fathers’ engagement with their preschoolers. This suggest that coparenting is another key area to address in existing parent education programs that aim to serve fathers. Next Steps: How to Promote the Wellbeing of Children Involved in the Child Welfare System? Informed by my prior work and clinical practice with children, my next set of projects focus on exploring ways to promote the wellbeing of children involved in the child welfare system. I published an article in Social Work that examines the historical use of class action lawsuits and consent decrees in pursuit of social justice. I argued that social workers should consider such legal mechanism to reform the United States child welfare system. I am leading a study using social media data from Reddit to examine the most pressing needs of foster parents and foster children have been experiencing during COVID-19. Because there is so little data available on how children are faring in the pandemic, my goal is to describe the challenges children with maltreatment history currently face. My next projects will look more carefully at factors and processes linked to the wellbeing of foster children, especially children of color including Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander (NHPI) foster children. To pursue this work, I will apply for a National Institute of Health Mentored Research Scientist Career Development Award (K01). Through this K01, I would receive additional quantitative training on analyzing the Adoption and Foster Care Analysis and Reporting Systems dataset, national data of foster children in the U.S. I plan to examine factors contributing to the overrepresentation of children of color in foster care and their outcomes based on placement status with relatives. I would also receive mentoring on community-based research with NHPI communities to inform the development of culturally responsive prevention interventions, such as indigenous in-home parent skill-based programs. My long-term goal is to develop evidence-based support services for families to help their children remain at home. Overall, my work contributes to social work research and practice with children and families by filling critical knowledge gaps of family processes that lead to optimal child outcomes. In terms of tangible impact, I have published 9 first authored studies, and my work has been featured in the U.S. News & World Report and Huffington Post. I also wrote an Op-Ed in The Conversation. Importantly, my program of research responds to the Social Work Grand Challenge of Ensuring Healthy Development for all Youth by identifying key mechanisms that facilitate the development, health, and wellbeing of children. By centering the experiences of historically marginalized families, it ultimately advances social work’s values of enhancing human wellbeing and meeting the basic needs of those who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty.


Teaching Statement

Joyce Y. Lee

My teaching philosophy is student-centered and encourages students to participate in activities that leverage their individual curiosities and interests. I recognize individual differences and create a welcoming learning environment by carefully considering how my students’ varied backgrounds and social identities shape their learning experiences. My teaching philosophy is informed by my intersecting identities, including being a cisgender female, child of university professors, and dual citizen of both the United States and South Korea. Importantly, my teaching philosophy is also informed by my family’s immigration background. Despite the opportunity to come to the U.S. upon the passage of the Immigration Act of 1965 and work as university faculty, my parents were driven back to their motherland due to anti-Asian racism and xenophobia. My childhood was thus split between time spent in the U.S. and South Korea. This experience shaped I how I see the world, including higher education. Specifically, I see higher education through the dual lens of a U.S. citizen and international student. This means that I have experienced feelings of belonging and marginalization. Being an Asian American female scholar has further added to this duality. I am aware that I experience privileges (e.g., being seemingly accepted in predominantly Whites spaces, in part, because of the racist model minority myth; accessing higher education as a child of professors). Simultaneously, feelings of exclusion are challenging to shake off, knowing that Asian American females only make up 5% of full-time university faculty (U.S. Department of Education, 2019). Specific Teaching Goals Navigating such dual experiences have led me to commit to minimizing exclusion while promoting inclusion in my teaching. Taking a student-centered approach has led me to create an inclusive environment by taking into account what my students already bring to the classroom, including their rich personal histories, individual interests, and unique learning styles. I incorporate my teaching philosophy into three teaching goals: (1) promoting critical thinking; (2) developing strong writing skills; and (3) facilitating interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. Critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are essential for self-reflection and decisionmaking, which serve as the foundation for ethical and effective social work practice. As the led instructor, I taught a hybrid clinical Master of Social Work course, “Interpersonal Work with Individuals, Families, and Groups,” leveraging both in-person class instruction and online technology such as Massive Open Online Courses (MOOC) modules on edX.org. Before COVID-19, I assigned my students to read one of two books—Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson and Separated by William Lopez—and lead in-class book clubs. I had planned to use a fishbowl format (also known as the Socratic method) where the class is first divided into two groups and then one group facilitates its book club while the other group observes and provides feedback afterwards. The process is repeated with the roles of the groups reversed. This activity is meant to challenge students to take leadership of their own book clubs by generating discussions and providing feedback to one another. After COVID-19, all the remaining in-class sessions, including the book clubs needed to go fully online. I was able to support my students facilitate their book clubs by using BlueJeans video conferencing. By applying a fishbowl format over BlueJeans, students took ownership of their book clubs, generating lively discussions and listening to each other. I encouraged them to critically deconstruct the role of social work in perpetuating systemic racism, along with considering how White supremacy functions in the forms of structural oppression, mass incarceration, police brutality, and militarized immigration home raids—all of which disproportionally and adversely impact Black and Brown communities. In response, students noted: “Joyce a great professor. She emphasized privilege, oppression, diversity, and social justice through assignments and discussions.” Strong writing skills. Strong writing skills are imperative for social workers because written advocacy is a key component of social work practice. When teaching, “Attachment Theory in Clinical 1


Teaching Statement

Joyce Y. Lee

Practice with Adults,” I used a movie watching assignment called Attachment Goes to the Movies, for which students choose a character from a movie of their choice, imagine the character as a potential client, assess the character’s attachment style, and describe the type of attachment-based interpersonal psychotherapy they would employ given what they know about the character’s attachment template. Students in my course also learn to conduct a comprehensive bio-psycho-social-spiritual assessments by interviewing a classmate serving as a client and developing a written intervention plan. I grade these written assignments based on clarity and cohesiveness, emphasizing that writing serves as a powerful tool for developing accurate treatment plans, demonstrating support for a client in court proceedings, and advocating for just social policies by drafting policy briefs and writing to policymakers on behalf of their client groups. Being aware that my students bring different levels of proficiency in academic writing, I make additional writing resources, such as the American Psychological Association 7th Edition Reference Quick Guide, available both in class and online for students to frequently reference. During COVID-19, students approached me requesting extensions on written assignments because of the pandemic’s toll on their personal lives. It was especially important that I take a student-centered approach during this time to accommodate students’ individual requests and provide extra support. Students appreciated this approach: “Joyce was flexible when it came to assignment due dates, as she recognized the multiple pressures students face. She made herself available if students needed to talk.” Interdisciplinary collaboration and communication. The ability to engage in interdisciplinary collaboration and communication is also essential in both micro and macro social work practice. Students learn from my clinical experience in collaborating with lawyers, psychologists, and teachers. My clinical case examples were especially popular amongst students: “Joyce had excellent energy as a teacher and her anecdotes from her own work were always topical and helpful.” Mindful that I am in a predominantly White institution, I incorporate reading materials from scholars of color from social work and related social sciences and select class videos and guest speakers who provide alternative viewpoints to White and westernized social work practice. I use my background and identities to help my students think about their own privileges and marginalized experiences. For example, I was candid about my fears of COVID-19 anti-Asian racism and xenophobia occurring both domestically and globally and used a case example of an international student from China to challenge my students to think about how social workers and its collaborators can work towards being anti-racist and anti-oppressive. Through demonstrations and practice sessions, I taught students to use basic interpersonal skills combined with cultural sensitivity to work with diverse groups. In addition to using computer simulations to train students on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I taught my students ways to leverage telehealth during COVID-19, as I was actively transitioning to telehealth in my own clinical practice. That is, I quickly adapted my course to be relevant for the times and to best support my students’ clinical social work training. Summary and Future Teaching In sum, students leave my classes with the ability to think critically about social justice issues that impact communities of color, write clearly as a means to advocate for their clients, and develop interpersonal skills that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration and culturally responsive practice. In particular, students leave with basic clinical social work skills to work with and serve children and families in community-based settings. At the University of Washington School of Social Work, I am prepared to teach in-class, hybrid, and online courses. These include, but not limited to, Clinical Social Work Practice with Children, Youth, and Families; Advanced Practice with Diverse Children and Families: Focus on Child Welfare; Child Development; and other introductory core and advanced methodology courses. I look forward to applying my student-centered learning philosophy and specific teaching goals to my work with the diverse and dynamic student body of the School.
