How Should Social Work Education Respond to the Changing Political Landscape?
March 21, 2017 - 12:00pm to 2:00pm
Join us for a live showing of a lunch webinar with the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE).
As the new presidential administration takes office, many social workers question the extent to which it will reflect the profession's values of equality and social and economic justice. Students, too, may be wondering how the administration's policies will impact their work with clients and communities, in particular the implications for marginalized groups. What are some ways to help students make sense of the emerging, often confusing, political era in the classroom?
Lunch will be provided.
