The Subversive Scholarship

Application Instructions

Following the legacy of Black Woman Critical Theorists, we recognize that black women can save the world. Our unique positionality affords us the ability to understand how oppression operates on a visceral level. As such, SSW centers the experiences of black female social scientists to inform mentorship around social work practice and research. Our goal is to support a village of social work scholars who combat the processes of colonialism and the resulting disparate outcomes for the minoritized groups.
