Assistant Professor
Skidmore College, United States
Neil Bilotta is an Assistant Professor of Social Work at Skidmore College. His personal, activist, and academic interests are rooted in anti-racist and anti-colonial social work ethical practices and research with refugees and other forcibly displaced communities. Bilotta is interested in the ways racism, colonialism, and Eurocentric power inform research methodologies and social work interventions with those experiencing refugee status. In collaboration with such communities, he aims to explore how social work can move beyond neoliberal and Eurocentric ideologies in work with forcibly displaced folks. He has worked with forcibly displaced young people in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, the United States, and Canada. Furthermore, his work also explores how race and racism underpin most mainstream theoretical and methodological prisms related to social work.
