SSW professors are dedicated teachers who pride themselves on being personal mentors to their students. All are actively engaged in their fields as clinicians, consultants, educators, researchers, and community leaders. Their areas of practice and research cover a wide range of issues, including child welfare, pediatric chronic illness, gerontology, health care disparities, trauma, HIV/AIDS, refugees, family bereavement, racism and oppression, social work leadership, evidence-based practice, and social policy in the United States and around the world. Our faculty serve on the boards of numerous agencies and organizations, such as the Judge Baker Children's Center, the National Association of Black Social Workers, the AIDS Action Committee, the Association of Medical Education and Research in substance Abuse, the United Way, and the Women's Educational and Industrial Union.
