Title: Pursuing Social Justice Through Advocacy

Pinto, will focus on how social work values call us to action to challenge social injustice - poverty, unemployment, discrimination, racism, etc. We will discuss how commutative and distributive justice require redistribution of benefits, goods, burdens and pleasures. Dr. Pinto will draw on his decade of social work practice in New York City as clinician and community organizer and on his many years of Community-Based Participatory Research in HIV prevention and in women's and sexual minorities' access to health.

Educational Agreement Due for Review
October 14, 2015 - 5:00 PM ET
Educational Agreement is due to the Office of Field Instruction for review by 5:00 p.m.
For this due date, the student must complete and submit their Identifying Information (Tab 1) and their Assignments (Tab 2). The Field Instructor must review and approve Tabs 1 and 2.
The Educational Agreement must be fully approved by the Field Instructor before it is ready for your Field Liaison's approval. Therefore OFI suggests submitting the form to your Field Instructor one week prior to the deadline. This gives the Field Instructor time to review and approve your work before the deadline.
