Series Spotlight

New Directions in Social Work

Renowned for its sweeping and compelling overview of foundational courses in the BSW and MSW curriculum, the New Directions in Social Work series welcomed new editions this year of Rosemary Chapin's classic text, Social Policy for Effective Practice, now co-authored with Melinda Lewis, and The Practice of Generalist Social Work, by Marla Berg-Weger, Julie Birkenmaier and new co-author, Deborah Adams. 

Both editions are supported by an extensive collection of faculty-developed resources, designed to offer tools and expert recommendations for enhancing the delivery of your lectures, exams, course activities, and assignments, in multiple learning modes: asynchronous online, hybrid, distanced in-person, and/or the hy-flex options this moment demands of higher educators. For more information about the books in the series, as well as how to access their supporting resources, please visit the series website and look through the current editions in the series drop-down menu above.

As we look ahead to 2021, and the possibility of welcoming a new president to office, it is crucial to reflect on the history and development of our current welfare system, including the factors that gave rise to Donald Trump’s election in 2016 and the far-reaching implications of his administration. This chapter preview from the latest edition of Social Policy for Effective Practice contextualizes this moment in time and considers the future social workers will be practicing within.
