SPECIFIC JOB DUTIES
Overview
The School of Social Work is committed to a University-wide initiative that aims to enhance social justice, antiracism, diversity, equity, and create an inclusive climate. We seek outstanding applicants who will contribute to the School’s diversity, equity and inclusion strategic plan. Michigan Social Work faculty members strive to be leaders in scholarship, education, and service for socially just communities in Michigan, the United States, and across the world.
