ABSTRACT

The anti-racism virtual issue of the Journal of Occupational Science (JOS) came about after the Editorial Board expressed its commitment to anti-racist work, publishing the position statement ‘A Pledge to Mobilize Against Racism’ (Stanley et al., 2020). In this statement, the Board promised to republish a collection of articles to call attention to racism and its impact on individuals’ doing and society. The intent is to stimulate critical reflection on the contribution occupational scientists can make to exposing and countering racism in everyday doing. As such, the anti-racism virtual issue helps meet a pressing need to recognize the power of occupation in shaping and reproducing social ideologies, attitudes, and behaviors. We, the authors, urge all occupational scientists to build on this knowledge and continue learning about racism to better understand and address how its different dimensions manifest through occupation and everyday life.

摘要

在编辑委员会表达了对反种族主义工作的承诺后，发表了立场声明“动员反对种族主义的誓言”之后，就出现了《职业科学杂志》（JOS）的反种族主义虚拟问题。（Stanley等，2020）。董事会在此声明中承诺将重新发布一系列文章，以提请注意种族主义及其对个人行为和社会的影响。目的是激发对职业科学家在日常工作中对揭露和反对种族主义的贡献的批判性反思。因此，反种族主义虚拟问题有助于满足迫切需要，认识到占领在塑造和再现社会意识形态，态度和行为方面的力量。作者们，我们敦促所有职业科学家在这些知识的基础上，继续学习种族主义，以更好地理解和解决种族主义在职业和日常生活中如何体现出来。
