Biography
Bryan Warde is Associate Professor in the Social Work Program at Lehman College of the City University of New York. He has served as a faculty member for the Social Work Education Consortium, a formal partnership between the Office of Children and Family Services, Bureau of Training, the New York State Dean’s Association, the social work education community, and local social services designed to impact the child welfare workforce. Dr. Warde is also the author of Inequality in U.S. Social Policy: A Historical Perspective (2016).
Dr. Bryan Warde has not just written a social policy book, he has reminded us all of social work’s roots in advocacy and, when necessary, protest. With pertinent case examples, he explores how social protest movements have shaped America and that we as social workers must be in the forefront fighting for justice and equality. A remarkable book for students, practitioners, and academics.
Carl Mazza, Chair of the Social Work Department at Lehman College
