Abstract: Mary Edwards is a second-year Masters of Social Work student who in her previous career focused on social justice in education. Her project seeks to lead curriculum change at the UW School of Social Work, so that students will gain a fuller understanding of disability as a social justice issue and be better positioned to serve people with disabilities upon graduation. Mary’s presentation will follow up the October 31st brown bag brainstorming session. Interested people from social work, disability studies, and other communities are invited to come. There will be time for questions sharing your knowledge and perspectives.
