| dc.description.abstract | When public health challenges with amongst Black men are considered, those challenges can be exacerbated. Black men have the shortest lifespans of all groups in the United States. Using a scoping review, this study answers the following questions: How is social work literature contributing to the support of Black male social work faculty members? To what extent is the health of Black male social work faculty considered in this knowledge base? An analysis of the literature revealed that Black male social work faculty deal a with lack of mentorship, a lack of faculty guidance, feel they can be perceived as threats, are tasked with extra labor disguised as service projects, are invalidated, and deal with other challenges that hinder their performance in the academy that impact when or if they get tenured. If Black male social work faculty are not getting supported, this presents itself as a grand challenge in social work. Implications for the study lent themselves to a push for better support of Black male social work faculty. | |
