The University of Chicago School of Social Service Administration’s (SSA) Samuel Deutsch Professor Mark Courtney, current editor of the Social Service Review (SSR) introduces the audience to the purpose of the symposium. He presents an early history of how the field of social work organized itself professionally. Courtney then presents the core questions that will be answered in the videos following this one: What is the state of social work scholarship, and the profession itself, in the core areas of social work’s professional turf? And what are the promising directions for the profession in its second century and the kinds of scholarship necessary to sustain the professional enterprise going forward? SSA’s Interim Dean Deborah Gorman-Smith thanks the sponsoring organizations: SSA, the American Academy of Social Work and Social Welfare, SSR, and the estate of the late Michael Sosin, former editor of the SSR. ➡ Subscribe: http://bit.ly/UCHICAGOytSubscribe About #UChicago: Since its founding in 1890, the University of Chicago has been a destination for rigorous inquiry and field-defining research.
