Seventh Annual SOGIE Scholarship Award

 
The CSWE Council on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression (CSOGIE) is pleased to announce a call for papers for its Seventh Annual Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity and Expression (SOGIE) Scholarship Award.  Established in 2012, the SOGIE Scholarship Award recognizes scholarship that contributes to knowledge about sexual orientation and gender identity and expression; the individual and systemic issues associated with these topics; the development of social work curriculum materials and faculty growth opportunities relevant to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression; and the experiences of individuals who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and/or two-spirit. Learn more about the past recipients of the SOGIE Scholarship Award here.
 
CSOGIE particularly encourages submission of manuscripts that identify and critically analyze policies, procedures, or activities that impede full and affirming participation in CSWE and social work education of students and faculty who are gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or two-spirit; provide faculty development opportunities related to sexual orientation and gender identity and expression; explore ethics and social justice for social work practice with gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, or two-spirit individuals; and address historical aspects of sexual orientation and gender identity and expression in the social work profession.
 
All 2018 CSWE Annual Program Meeting (APM) accepted presenters are invited to submit relevant scholarly papers for consideration to Pam Bowers (phb44@humboldt.edu) by June 29, 2018. At least one author of the paper must agree to attend the award presentation during the LGBT Caucus/CSOGIE Reception at the 2018 APM in Orlando, FL.
