October 12, 2017 - 3:30 PM to 6:00 PM ET

The 2017 symposium explored tensions and affinities between organized labor, the profession of social work, and other social justice movements. Panelists traced the histories of the professionalization of social work and the American labor movement from intersectional and critical perspectives, asking: How have organizing efforts to advance economic equality simultaneously exacerbated racial and gender inequalities? Why have social workers been largely absent from the American labor movement? How is social work positioned to respond to the changing nature of work - related to automation, the decline in manufacturing, the disappearance of welfare, neoliberal economic policies, and an expanding service sector and gig-economy - and how might social workers and labor organizers contribute to a reimagined and revitalized labor movement?

Kick off the Fall Break with a Management Info Systems Lunch n' Learn with the Management Leadership Learning Community. Lunch will be provided.

This workshop strives to show the relevance and utility of the data social workers collect on a daily basis. With a focus on how to use Management Information Systems (MISs) to pull data for your area of social work, this workshop will includes a brief overview of two MISs and an interactive activity to show how each concentration in social work can work together to solve an issue. The two goals of this session is to help MSW students and social work professionals understand how data is useful separately and collectively in the social service world, and to help social workers see the value of the data they collect.
