This paper describes a documentary analysis of the address, The World’s Food and World Politics, presented at the 1918 National Conference of Social Work. The temporal relevance of the address and its utility as heuristic for food justice may compel social workers to proactively engage in more political social action.
Learning Objectives:
Describe Progressive Era social reform and action strategies to address food crises and their potential application today.
Understand the efficacy of archival research to inform contemporary social work practice.
Summarize social work’s epistemic responsibility for addressing food justice through social action and political engagement.
