Join our co-founder Greer Hamilton for a talk on Black contributions to social work and social welfare in honor of Black History month. Registration is required!
https://www.bu.edu/ssw/about/explorebussw/social-justice/equity-inclusion-speaker-series/
Talk description: Despite having a long and rich history of mutual aid towards families, communities, and neighbors, Black people have repeatedly been excluded from the histories of social welfare and social work. This talk will leverage historical texts, social work conference proceedings, and archival documents to highlight historical contributions to social work and social welfare made by Black individuals, leaders, communities, organizations, and movements that are often absent in the dominant literature of our social work profession. Topics of discussion will include historical Black efforts towards self-help, preservation, liberation, activism, and social justice and a social work profession failing to recognize these efforts as “social work” while struggling to confront anti-Black racism, train Black social workers, and meet the needs of the Black community.

Earlier this week, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE) released findings from 3 years of surveys of social workers completing their master’s of social work (MSW) degrees. They found that Black students face higher costs to become social workers. Additionally, Black student debt from their social work education was, on average, substantially higher than White students ($66,000 vs. $45,000).
