Research Interests
Vyshedsky’s scholarship centers on social-work pedagogy, trauma-informed practice, and equity for marginalized populations. She investigates how schools of social work prepare students for leadership roles, the mental-health needs of BIPOC communities, and the influence of religiosity on behavior—particularly among Orthodox Jewish populations. Additional lines of inquiry include juvenile justice recidivism, the impact of adverse childhood experiences on practicum placements, and the role of technology in post-pandemic therapeutic education.
Publication Trends
Her 2021-2025 portfolio reveals a rapid acceleration of peer-reviewed work focusing on three thematic pillars: (1) curricular innovation (e.g., integrating R programming into social-work research courses), (2) minority mental-health disparities (exploring Black masculinity, teen mothers in foster care, and Orthodox Jewish substance use), and (3) professional workforce issues (union participation, leadership readiness, and dental-neglect knowledge among child-welfare educators).
