Social Justice: Issues, Challenges and Solutions
Urban Social Work seeks outstanding articles for publication in a special issue on Social Justice
About the issue: 2020 will be long remembered for the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic which highlighted social justice inequities in densely populated urban centers nationally and abroad. People of color, vulnerable populations and overwhelmed cities were disproportionately impacted by the invisible threat which both overshadowed and illuminated pre-existing social justice challenges based on race, zip code, and access to diminishing primary resources.
The upcoming US presidential election has been a daily reminder of the socio-political climate and policy decisions that have negatively impacted urban communities and its diverse populations.
