MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN & ASSOCIATE DEAN FOR RESEARCH

This KU School of Social Welfare Research Highlight provides a glimpse into the innovative, community-based scholarship conducted by the School’s faculty, research staff, and students in 2022. Sharing publications, presentations, and products, the Highlight features work in the areas of child and family well-being, community practice, health and mental health, LGBTQ+ populations, social work education and practice, and racial and social justice. The Highlight also provides an overview of the School’s centers, along with a listing of our faculty, staff, and student researchers with scholarship areas, awards, and current projects.

This work would not be possible without our many sponsors and community partners, and we thank them for engaging in these important endeavors with us.

We hope that our scholarship provides you with new knowledge, resources, or ideas that are applicable for your own work. We would love to hear from you or collaborate with you in the future!

Michelle Mohr Carney, Ph.D. Dean & Professor

Sincerely,

Amy N. Mendenhall, Ph.D Associate Dean for Research & Faculty Development, Professor, Director, Center for Community Engagement & Collaboration
