The University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and
Practice is an acknowledged leader in cultivating theoretical and
practical social work knowledge. Celebrating the School's
centennial, this volume heralds the progressive thinking of its
leaders and students while setting the stage for the next century
of work at the frontier of the field.Following the School's
approach, the book upholds the core values of social work: a clear
understanding and respect for the past; analysis of current and
professional issues; a vision of the future that reflects a
commitment to social change; and the dissemination of knowledge on
local, national, and global issues. The intellectual history of the
School's founders, faculty, and students is reconstructed through
an extensive collection of articles on a variety of social work
themes that employ both data-based research and theoretical
analysis. The volume contains key contributions from practitioners
affiliated with the School, from the early pioneers in 1908 to
recent alumni and current faculty in 2008."A Century of Social Work
and Social Welfare at Penn" will be an enduring resource for
scholars and historians of social work and social welfare as well
as a point of reference and pride for those influenced by the
achievements of the School's faculty and students.
