Professor Robert Joseph Taylor gave the 2017 Carl A. Scott Lecture on October 21 at the Council on Social Work Education annual meeting in Dallas. The title of his talk was "Extended Family and Congregational Support Networks Among African Americans."
The Carl A. Scott Memorial Lecture Series was established to continue the legacy of equity and social justice in social work through building knowledge and furthering the well-being of individuals and their communities. Taylor is recognized for his prolific and highly influential research on African American families, and his leading role in mentoring and shaping a new generation of African American scholars. The School hosted a celebration for Taylor at the CSWE meeting in honor of this recognition.
