EXAMINING THE HISTORICAL AND PRESENT-AGE IMPACT OF RACISM IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THROUGH THE ARTS, AESTHETIC EDUCATION, AND TRANSFORMATIVE LEARNING THEORY: EMPOWERING SOCIAL WORK STUDENTS TO EFFECTIVELY DISCUSS RACISM AND PROVIDE BEST PRACTICES WITH AFRICAN AMERICANS AND OTHER PEOPLE OF COLOR Abstract The traumatic history of racism spans throughout generations of the African American experience and negatively impacts mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness, as well as healthcare, housing, economic and financial outcomes, and a plethora of daily encounters. It is vital that social workers have clarity regarding the historical and present-age impact of racism on African Americans and other people of Color in order to effectively engage and advocate with these populations as they seek various services. This dissertation offers a 15-week academic course designed for baccalaureate-level social work students through the framework of transformative learning theory and with the integration of aesthetic education and the arts. Research indicates that students have greater potential to deeply understand racism and its impact through creative, non-traditional modes of study. From a cognitive perspective, experientially taught students may engage in higher-order thinking such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, and are also better able to identify the concepts in the real world; think about the material in new and complex ways; comprehend phenomena conceptually; and recall, retain, and memorize the material better. The arts, aesthetic education, and transformative learning theory reach students on a deeper level by engaging both affective and cognitive processes; by providing opportunities to unlearn racial biases through critical reflection and ationalr discourse; by creatively exploring ways to be open to other points of view; and by examining personal connections to the social issues of race through activities that include critical reflection, illumination, exploration, and the awareness of self and others. As social work students respond to the realities of working with African Americans and other people of Color, they will need to meet the expectations of the National Social Workers Association’s values of worth and dignity, integrity, competence, and the advancement of human rights and social justice, as well as answer the charge of the Educational Policy and Accreditation Standards with the competencies to engage diversity, and understand challenges of discrimination and oppression. This 15-week course responds to those needs using an experiential and transformative approach. Degree Type Dissertation Degree Name Doctor of Social Work (DSW) First Advisor Joretha N.

Course and Dissertation Conclusions ………………………………………266 Washington, Page 5 of 270 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and DEDICATIONS Acknowledgements My first acknowledgement is to God, Jesus, and God’s Holy Spirit. This is my Truth and where I draw my inner peace and strength to relate or connect to anything else in my life. As I first considered striving for my doctorate, it was through prayer, devotion, and Scripture guidance. It is in this Truth that I develop meaning, safety, purpose, direction, abilities, and functioning, and it is in this Truth that I maintain and put forth my best self. My immediate family has been my support throughout this academic journey, each in their own way, but all with genuine love and joy for my academic and personal goals: My adult daughter, JaCon Canese Hill-Washington, was with me since the inception of my doctoral journey and, throughout, was always available to help me in any way I needed; whenever I called, she answered. My daughter nicknamed me “Mama Genius” and it touched my heart to know she valued my intelligence; it encouraged me to forge ahead with confidence. JaCon, you are the planter of the seeds of creative ideas, perceptions, and wisdom. I will be eternally grateful to you for all of your time and insights you so lovingly and generously gave to me throughout my journey- and all of this as you were working on your own doctorate degree . thank you, my beautiful, intelligent, compassionate, and devoted daughter, my heart’s twin. My adult son, Chad Westley Hill-Washington, my firstborn, offered me genuine encouragement throughout my doctoral journey and asked thoughtful questions during our discussions. Along this journey, Chad always let me know that he was proud of me and believed in my abilities to be successful. Chad, you are the philosopher with intense perspectives and insights. The special times we shared in nature, discovering and talking were so meaningful. The way your face lights up when you see me makes my heart happy and I will hold that always . thank you, my charismatic, intelligent, handsome son, and dedicated, loving dad to my “grandbebe,” Olivia. My dear friend, Jonathan Reed Washington, offered me sincere and unwavering encouragement throughout

  • Letter to a Loved
    Dear Loved One, To begin, I love you and I appreciate everything you’ve done for me throughout my life. You have been an incredibly supportive force and it has meant a lot to have you cheering me on as I have traversed life’s ups and downs. And I agree, we have been watching and listening to the folks who have lost everything. For eight minutes and forty-six seconds I watched as a police officer, sworn to protect his community, slowly asphyxiated a Black man repeatedly pleading for his life. I watched as two men accosted and murdered a Black man in Georgia, because he had the audacity to allegedly look at a construction site. I listened as a Black man pleaded for the police to protect him after plain clothes police officers executed a no-knock raid on his home and fatally shot his girlfriend as she lay in bed – a no-knock raid looking for an individual the police already had in custody. In fact, for my entire life I’ve watched and listened as my community has fallen victim again and again to a militarized police department too quick to pull the trigger and too slow to police itself. The recurring atrocity of a police officer killing an unarmed Black American has persisted from the very founding of our Nation to the moment your eyes touch this sentence. At our Nation’s founding, night watches and paddyrollers, the early manifestations of our modern police force, roamed plantations searching for and killing slaves who had the courage to run from the indignities of slavery.

In the realm of mass-market romance novels, a boom- ing industry, the sheikh-hero of any standard desert romance is but one of the many possible alpha-male heroes, and while he is certainly not the most popular alpha-male hero in the contemporary market, he maintains a niche and even has a couple of blogs and an informative Web site devoted especially to him.3 Given popular perceptions of the Middle East as a threatening and oppressive place for women, it is perhaps not surprising that the heroine in a popular desert romance, Burning Love, characterizes her sheikh thusly: “Sharif was an Arab. To him every woman was a slave, including her.
