The University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Social Work Presents: "'Radical' Social Work's History and Future: Our Field, Our State, Our Year"
This event was the kick-off for the School of Social Work's 2011-12 Macro Seminar Series, and featured Professor Mark Courtney from the University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration and Ron Chance, Community Programs Manager for the Dane County Department of Human Services.
This particular event emerged from student discussions about the role of social work practice and education in a time of relative political upheaval in the State of Wisconsin, across the U.S., and around the globe.
The SSW Macro Seminar Series was begun in 2010 out of student desire to learn more about "macro" social work -- meaning practice at the levels of policy, organizations and community -- and to network with local community practitioners. With generous funding from an SSW alumna (BA 1949, PhD 1969), the school has brought in an array of speakers across the macro practice spectrum.
Filmed on February 9, 2012.
