Andrea Joseph Co-Authors Article, “Advancing Equity for Black Girls”

Andrea Joseph, Assistant Professor at the Nashville campus of #UTCSW, has co-authored an article published in the July/August edition of Social Work Today. The article is entitled “Advancing Equity for Black Girls.” This article looks at the disproportionate rates at which black girls are referred to the juvenile justice system and the factors, such as poverty, abuse, and victimization, that put girls at risk for physical and behavioral health problems.

Dr. Joseph’s research interest include: Racially disproportional school suspensions, school social work practice, race conscious interventions, school-wide behavior interventions, culturally relevant practices, student racialization, critical race theory, and social constructionism.
