Social work, with its commitment to social justice, knowledge about cultural diversity, and respect for the dignity and worth of the individual, has much to contribute to the modern-day human rights debate. Many international social work scholars have articulated the view of social work as a human rights profession. The profession’s presence in this arena, however, has not always been apparent. Amid increasing global tensions and domestic challenges, equipping social work students with human rights knowledge and skills is critical. The limited attention given to human rights in social work education, particularly in the United States, provides a unique opportunity to explore the human rights discourse occurring in academic circles. This paper presents a review of scholarly journal articles that explore the human rights discourse related to social work education in the United States. Upon reviewing the literature, the following categories emerged: (1) general articles on integrating human rights into social work education; (2) pedagogical frameworks, models, and examples of incorporating human rights into social work education; and (3) measures and perceptions related to assessing the integration of human rights in social work education. Findings indicate that the inclusion of human rights into social work education in the United States is in its infancy. It is recommended that social work programs in the United States be more intentional about integrating human rights content into the curricula to train culturally competent and globally minded social workers.

美国人权与社会工作教育探索

社会工作以其对社会正义的承诺、对文化多样性的了解以及对个人尊严和价值的尊重,对现代人权辩论做出了很大贡献。许多国际社会工作学者已将社会工作视为一种人权职业。然而,该行业在这个领域的存在并不总是显而易见的。在全球紧张局势和国内挑战日益加剧的情况下,为社会工作学生提供人权知识和技能至关重要。社会工作教育中对人权的有限关注,特别是在美国,为探索学术界发生的人权话语提供了独特的机会。本文回顾了探讨美国社会工作教育相关人权话语的学术期刊文章。回顾文献,出现了以下几类:(1)关于将人权融入社会工作教育的一般性文章;(2) 将人权纳入社会工作教育的教学框架、模式和实例;(3) 与评估将人权纳入社会工作教育有关的措施和看法。调查结果表明,在美国将人权纳入社会工作教育还处于起步阶段。建议美国的社会工作计划更有意将人权内容纳入课程,以培训具有文化能力和全球视野的社会工作者。
