This is supplementary material for an article accepted for publication in the Critical and Radical Social Work Journal in October 2023. Abstract for the article: This article reports on an exploratory study in the UK on the experiences of social work practitioners and students whose minoritised identities may not be obvious to those they interact with in work and university settings. Study is relevant as people increasingly identify in ways which fall outside singular demographic categories and as there is a dearth of research on their experiences to date. Analysis of the qualitative survey data identified three overarching themes: experiences of misrecognition and prejudice; fears of being out; and, ease with ‘passing’ (successfully presenting oneself in a socially favoured identity, rather than an ‘authentic’ one), and ‘code-switching’ (altering language, behaviour or appearance so that it conforms to hegemonic societal and cultural norms). While a small-scale study, experiences of the surveyed practitioners and students provide important illustrations of their ongoing fears about revealing their authentic identities, despite the broader professional commitment to anti-oppressive and anti-discriminatory practice.
