Abstract

A formal evaluation of social work literature on the topic of gendered racism has yet to be undertaken. Accordingly, authors present a scoping review of peer-reviewed social work literature on gendered racism. Guided by Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework, databases were searched for peer-reviewed journal articles including the term “gendered raci*” and published by social work scholars or journals since 1991. In the sample of 33 articles, the majority (57.6%) were published in 2021–2022 and over half featured quantitative research, most often published in psychology journals. Several aspects of gendered racism were represented, including gendered racial socialization, gendered racial stereotypes, gendered racial microaggressions, structural or context-specific gendered racism, and gendered racial stress. Several populations are underrepresented in social work literature on gendered racism, including Indigenous, Latine, transgender, and nonbinary people. There is a need for greater provision of policy implications in social work literature on gendered racism. Authors recommend that social work journals provide a platform for scholars to share knowledge on topics related to gendered racism.
