Promoting Racial Justice in Social Work Practice
On January 25th, over 50 people gathered in the School of Social Work to discuss racial justice and social work practice among a panel of social work professionals and alumni. The panel focused on racial justice education and practice, both in the classroom and in the professional world. The panelists included Yi-Chin Chen (MSW ’03) from the Hyde Square Task Force; Abigail Ortiz (MSW ’02) from the Southern Jamaica Plain Health Center; Tyler Hunt from the Southern Jamaica Plain Health Center; Saida Abdi (MSW ’10) from the Children’s Hospital Boston; and Rev. Clyde Grubbs from the Tuckerman Creative Ministries for Justice & Healing.
We thank and applaud Student Org for putting on this influential event for racial justice and encouraging such great community participation and activism.
