  2. African American Contributions to Social Work Presented by Dr. Aminifu Harvey

    October 24, 2018 - 12:00pm to 2:00pm

    Join The New Leaders in African-Centered Social Work Scholar Program (NLACSW) as we welcome Dr. Aminifu Harvey, an early pioneer in the social work field in the arena of Afri-centric theory. He will discuss the contributions of African American's to the social work paradigm which has been overlooked or neglected. His new book, 'A Reader of Africentric Theory and Practice: Philosophical and Humanistic Writings of Dr. Aminifu R. Harvey,' that he will share provides culturally appropriate interventions. Join us to engage in learning more about the pedagogy and its lens on serving the Black/African-American/African descended communities.

  3. Design Thinking for Change Work Design Thinking for Change Work

    October 24, 2018 - 1:00pm to 6:00pm

    Civilla is a "design studio dedicated to changework." In this workshop, Civilla will take you through the process of facing a social problem and addressing it using user-centered design. Presenters Adam Selzer and Michael Brennan (who have worked in design and social spaces including IDEO and the United Way, respectively) will lead you through a discussion of their methods, the work they have done this far, and its connection to Change Work. You will then go on to a short challenge session in which students from both UMSI and SSW will use their newfound knowledge to try and address a problem (in a practice session) using Civilla's methods.

    This workshop will be of special interest to SSW students who are interested in designing for Social Change/Social Impact, non-traditional paths of Social Work, Social Justice, Entrepreneurship, and Macro work.
