| Popis: | This article presents the analysis of a qualitative research that explored the manifestations of heterosexism, homophobia, lesbophobia and biphobia in social work education at the undergraduate level at the University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras campus. The findings are presented in order to provoke a reflective discussion on the practice of social work education. One significant finding showed that professors and students exhibited difficulty in defining concepts related to sexual diversity. Moreover, there was little or no inclusion at all of the topic in the classes observed and the curricula verified. The findings were analyzed from the perspectives of social construction theory, critical theory, socialization theory and gender perspective theory. This holistic approach enabled us to explain how society has defined the sexuality from patriarchy, male chauvinism and heterosexism, and rejected any other manifestation of sexuality and gender. That is, heteronormativity has been legitimized through socialization processes and thereafter replicated by the people, in this case Social Work educators and students. Therefore, as part of deliberation generated, it was important to understand the difficulty and effort required to get rid of prejudice, stereotypes and homophobia/ lesbophobia/ biphobia. For that reason, the study presents testimonies which indubitably promote critical questioning of social norms, traditions and social institutions as it promotes the deconstruction of oppressive thoughts. The findings lead to a critical reflection on the education received and illustrates where we should be headed as professionals who seek equity and a more fair society. |
