New competitive realities are necessitating that social work education programs design and conduct marketing as a part of their yearly departmental planning. This exploratory study identified marketing strategies most commonly used in social work education programs today. Critical findings regarding social work educators' perceptions regarding how much other disciplines understand their profession were discovered. In addition, the promotional strategies found to be most effective for student recruitment and for increasing departmental visibility within the university setting were revealed from the study. Implications for social work education are delineated along with future research needs.

To Receive

This paper examines the implications of social work education upon licensed social workers' desire, knowledge, and competency to work with members of the transgender community. Data were collected from 150 randomly selected licensed social workers from a southern state. The results suggest that 1) it is not the norm for social workers to receive educational content regarding the transgender community and 2) the presence of educational content was associated with a stronger desire to work with this population, more knowledge of the transgender community, and greater perceptions of competency to work with the transgender community. The results of this exploratory study suggest that educational content regarding the transgender community should be an integral part of the curricula provided by baccalaureate social work programs.

Work Education

Neoliberal universities embrace the logic of acceleration where the quickening of daily life for both educators and students is driven by desires for efficient forms of productivity and measurable outcomes of work. From this perspective, time is governed by expanding capacities of the digital world that speed up the pace of work while blurring the boundaries between workplace, home, and leisure. In this article, we draw from findings from qualitative interviews conducted with Canadian social work educators who teach using online-based critical pedagogy as well as recent graduates who completed their social work education in online learning programs to explore the effects of acceleration within these digitalised spaces of higher education. We view these findings alongside French philosopher Henri Bergson's concepts of duration and intuition, forms of temporality that manage to resist fixed, mechanised standards of time. We argue that the digitalisation of time produced through online education technologies can be seen as a thinning of possibilities for deeper and more critically self-reflexive knowledge production and a reduction in opportunities to build on social justice-based practices.
