The faculty of the University of Michigan School of Social Work strives to be leaders in scholarship, education and service for socially just communities in Michigan, the United States and the world. We value work that promotes:
- solving social challenges in this highly politicized and technologized world by supporting scholarly and academic excellence
- advancing equity in education, health and social services
- opportunities for the growth, development, and adaptation of individuals and families
Our contributions to social work scholarship build on values that emphasize the strengths and the interaction between the individual and the larger social and physical environment. Our faculty members draw on scientific theories that support the understanding of social challenges and then work to develop translational solutions to these challenges.
The University of Michigan is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
