Social Justice Action: A Grounded Theory Study of Action Development in Social Workers

Friday, October 25, 2024
2:15 PM – 2:45 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 4A
In response to the social justice values-to-action gap in social work, this grounded theory study produced a mid-range substantive theory of how social workers come to engage in social justice action with implications for cultivating social justice action through social work education.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will be able to define the critical components involved in the development of social justice action in social workers.
  2. Participants will be able to describe how elements in the theory correspond with intervention points and strategies for social work education.
  3. Participants will be able to identify additional educational and practice-based applications for the theory.
