Social Welfare Analysis Colloquium
This interdisciplinary colloquium series features working papers from researchers across many fields of study, including: social work, urban planning, sociology, economics, political science, history, geography and anthropology whose work focuses on issues broadly related to social welfare, such as: health and healthcare policy, housing policy, youth development, child welfare, aging, non-profit and public organizations, workforce development, welfare policy, low-income work and family, community development, mental health and social welfare state development. Rather than narrowly focusing on a particular problem area or level of intervention this seminar seeks to engage multi-disciplinary scholarship at the policy, organizational and practice level to explore pressing social problems.
Faculty and doctoral students from the wider Boston University community and area universities are welcome to join us Thursdays, 3:00-4:30 p.m. at the Boston University School of Social Work in the Conant Lounge. A short wine and cheese reception immediately follows the colloquium. Please contact faculty Co-Directors Kate Cooney or Marah Curtis for more information.
