SSRPCB-6 (CANCELLED) Advancing the Public Impact of Social Work Scholarship: Promising Approaches for Supporting Faculty

Schedule:
Thursday, January 16, 2020: 10:15 AM-12:15 PM
Marquis BR Salon 14, ML 2 (Marriott Marquis Washington DC)
Speakers/Presenters:
Laura Abrams, PhD, University of California, Los Angeles, Alan Dettlaff, PhD, University of Houston, Thomas Gregoire, PhD, Ohio State University, David Jenkins, PhD, Texas Christian University, Amanda Moore McBride, PhD, Washington University in Saint Louis and Edwina Uehara, PhD, University of Washington
Building off of the speakers’ article in JSSWR regarding public impact scholarship, the aim of this session is to identify opportunities for social work to make greater public impact as a discipline. We extend the definition of public impact scholarship to include research questions and methods, not only translation and dissemination. We will review institutional challenges to public impact scholarship, including university culture, levers for impact (or lack thereof), and academic values, and discuss promising approaches to the promotion of public impact scholarship through mentorship, direct support, promotion and tenure, and capacity building.
