School of Social Work Faculty

The faculty members of the UNCW School of Social Work are widely engaged in collaborative work related to research, program development and evaluation, and curriculum development. These regional and national collaborations, combined with the diverse and extensive social work educational backgrounds on our faculty, allow a broad sense of the character of social work education nationally and the specific characteristics of the best of those programs. We have consulted widely, using the partnerships and collaborations of faculty, with many programs including the University of Kansas School of Social Welfare, the University of Michigan, the University of Washington, Portland State University, and the University of Georgia . As preparatory for the development of the MSW curriculum the faculty of UNCW hosted in 2000 an invitational conference on the “Research Utilization Problem in Social Work Practice” and invited to campus many notable educators and researchers to discuss the issue with our faculty, students, and regional practitioners.
