Please join Assistant Professors Geetha Gopalan and Amanda Lehning on Thursday, February 2, from noon-1:30pm in room 3E34 for a chat and chew to reflect on social work's tension between social control and social justice.
For example, today emerging and longstanding social movements are calling attention to the structural roots of social problems. At the same time, proposed and enacted policy changes have the potential to punish, stigmatize, and oppress vulnerable groups. What role can and should social workers play moving forward?
