| In 1998, social workers nationwide celebrated the centennial
of their profession. To highlight 100 years of social work’s contribution to society,
the National Association of Social Workers and the Council on Social Work Education
collaborated on a chronology of social work history that would present the broadest
possible diversity. A global call to individuals, agencies, and organizations was issued
for information on milestone events, especially those related to minority groups
representing the spectrum of race, ethnicity, class, religion, gender, and sexual
orientation. |
|
The result is Milestones in the Development of Social Work and Social Welfare,
which commemorates the inspiring historical journey that social workers have made in their
efforts to meet society’s needs. This special edition Milestones booklet includes
more than 100 new or edited entries and biographies. At a glance, this mini-dictionary
provides the reader with enlightening facts about the important events that have shaped
the social work profession. Students, professors, and human service professionals in the
field and in related fields will find this commemorative reference work a compelling
resource. |
