Dr. Gina R. Rosich is Chair of the University of Saint Joseph Department of Social Work and Equitable Community Practice. Dr. Rosich’s research interests are focused in social work pedagogy, human rights praxis, and with a particular focus on LGBTQ+ inclusion. Her most recent publications focused on affective learning and discomforting pedagogies, training field preceptors in the use of a human rights framework in field settings, the application of Krathwohl’s taxonomy of affective learning to social work diversity courses, and as an avid Doctor Who fan, an essay applying attachment theory to a classic era episode for a book collection of essays. Pending publications include a study unpacking the stressors of trans-identified job seekers through the lens of minority stress theory, and a book chapter covering the history of employment discrimination impacting transgender and gender diverse individuals, Her current pedagogical research projects include an examination of LGBTQ+ content in social work diversity courses, while her praxis-oriented projects include implicit bias training in child welfare and development of a novel teaching approach for students serving trans, nonbinary, and gender expansive people. Dr. Rosich has given talks on LGBTQ+ issues, including most recently for the city of Hartford's Trans Day of Visibility.
