Social Work in the Engaged University
Martin, Elisa M.; Pyles, Loretta
Journal of Social Work Education, v49 n4 p635-645 2013
This article identifies the importance of educating social work students and enlisting social work faculty to embrace the university-community engagement arena as a critical subfield of community practice. Through the lens of social work knowledge, values, and skills, the authors present three case studies of social workers who are working in the university-community field. The authors offer some directions for social work education.
