Anna Ortega-Williams, PhD (she/her/hers)

Associate Professor
Silberman School of Social Work
New York, NY, United States

Anna Ortega-Williams, LMSW, PhD is a Black social work scholar, practitioner, organizer and activist deeply inspired by the healing alchemy of social action and youth development. She has been a social worker rooted in community-based practice since 2001. She is an Associate Professor at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College in NYC and is committed to uncovering practice interventions that push the boundary of where micro-level clinical practice ends and macro-level practice begins. Her approach to social work is grounded in cultural humility and centers anti-racist, intersectional, and anti-oppressive frameworks. Dr. Ortega-William's participatory, social justice-based research focuses on historical trauma, posttraumatic growth, social action, and land-based healing to expand conceptualizations of trauma recovery. As a Black queer mom, born and raised in public housing in the Bronx, she believes in the power of critical social work practice to promote joy, healing, social justice, love, and hope.
