School of Social Work

Philosophy

As social workers, we operate in a society characterized by power imbalances that affect us all.  These power imbalances are based on age, class, ethnicity, gender identity, geographic location, health, ability, race, sexual identity and income.  We see personal troubles as inextricably linked to oppressive structures.  We believe that social workers must be actively involved in the understanding and transformation of injustices in social institutions and in the struggles of people to maximize control over their own lives.
