Celebrating Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month

Published on : May 6, 2022

May is Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage Month and consists of a month-long celebration of the histories, identities, and experiences of all Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders. The AAPI community has and continues to make contributions to American history, society, and culture.

To commemorate AAPI Heritage Month, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) is highlighting educational resources concerning AAPI issues or written by AAPI authors. Join CSWE Spark and share any AAPI-related clinical or curricular resources, journal articles, research, culturally relevant assessment tools, workbooks, or other scholarly work.

The Journal of Social Work Education (JSWE) has also compiled a new collection of free access articles with a focus on AAPI issues. The following articles will be free access until July 31, 2022, through the Taylor & Francis JSWE Online portal.

• “Letter to the Editor: Social Work Perspectives on Anti-Asian Racism” (Lee, Kim, & Kawamoto)
• “What Do Asians Want? An Examination of Issues in Social Work Education" (Kuramoto)
• “Toward Professional Pluralism: The Pacific/Asian-American Case” (Ishisaka & Takagi)

Please join us as we honor and celebrate AAPI social work educators and colleagues.
