Instructions

This research paper project will allow you to conduct an in-depth analysis of a specific population and its relationship to issues of diversity, equity, inclusion, and social justice. Please choose a detailed topic population with a clear connection to a DEI/social justice issue. For example, a topic like “African Americans and racism” would be too broad and nebulous a topic for this project. Instead, something like “Discrimination in the treatment of African American sex workers” would be a well define and researchable topic.

This research paper is to be between 10-12 pages in length (not including the cover page or references) and must adhere to APA style guidelines. The paper must include the following elements:

1. Introduction

· Description of topic population and corresponding issues of inequality or injustice.

· History of topic population and issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion. This may include identifying key figures in the formation and history of this topic population.

2. Literature review

· A review and summary of themes related to the topic population in professional literature.

· A minimum of 10 professional sources.

3. Systemic and/or institutional framework

· What social institutions, government entities, and policies have influenced the maintaining or reducing of inequality as it pertains to the topic population?

4. Implications for social work practice

· What are the contemporary challenges and opportunities for social workers in addressing social justice and DEI goals with the topic population.
