Abstract:

This paper examines the implications of social work education upon licensed social workers' desire, knowledge, and competency to work with members of the trangender community. Data were collected from 150 randomly selected licensed social workers from a southern state. The results suggest that 1) it is not the norm for social workers to receive educational content regarding the transgender community and 2) the presence of education content was assocaited with a stronger desire to work with this population, more knowledge of the transgender community, and greater perceptions of competency to work with the transgender community. The results of ths exploratory study suggest that educational content regarding the transgender community should be an intergral part of the curricula provided by baccalaureate social work programs.

Abstract:

The article introduces the September 2005 issue of the journal designed to provide an understanding of the current research and policies as institutions of higher education search for ways both to provide services to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender college students and to nurture faculty and staff. Although there are many areas to be addressed in understanding GLBT work on campus, no road maps are available that clearly delineate how higher education and student affairs administrators should proceed. Some general areas are, however, critical to broadening the understanding. These are longitudinal research about the lives and retention issues of GLBT students, development of appropriate materials for graduate-level curricula for preparing student affairs professionals and services and safe spaces for transgender students.
