Social Work, Identity & Injustice
The School of Social Policy & Practice (SP2) invites you to join SP2 Associate Professor, Dr. Yoosun Park for a discussion on how immigration and identity guide her work. Dr. Park is a theory-driven scholar whose research and pedagogy are predicated on the belief that social work’s commitment to social justice requires not only a diversity of social identities but of perspective on and approach to knowledge-building.
Dr. Park is the author of Facilitating Injustice: The Complicity of Social Workers in the Forced Removal and Incarceration of Japanese Americans, 1941-1946 and the forthcoming Social Work, the Americanization Movement, and the Construction of Americans, 1874–1930. She will be in conversation with SP2 Alumni Ambassador Ms. Carol Kim Chung, MSW, LCSW. A graduate of SP2’s MSW program, Ms. Chung serves as the Chair of the National Association of Social Workers—California Asian Pacific Islander South Chapter and is a member of the Los Angeles chapter of the University of Pennsylvania Asian Alumni Network.
This program will be presented in partnership with the National Association of Social Workers–California, Asian Pacific Islander South Chapter.
