Dione King, PhD, MSW (she/her/hers)

Associate Professor
University of Alabama, AL, United States

Dr. Dione King is an Associate Professor in the University of Alabama School of Social Work. Dr. King received her PhD and MSW from the University of Georgia and B.A. in Sociology from Spelman College. Dr. King’s research agenda is largely informed by her social work practice experience working with under-resourced, vulnerable, marginalized, and underrepresented populations. As a community-engaged researcher, her scholarship explores health behaviors and health disparities including sexual and reproductive health, dating violence, mental health, and socio-structural determinants that impact the health and well-being of Black adolescents and young adults. Her secondary line of inquiry focuses on the scholarship of teaching and learning (SOTL). Through this research arm, she incorporates and evaluates novel education modalities such as team-based learning, technology usage, and student-centered instructional methods while also assessing the educational landscape giving attention to microaggressions and other barriers that impede the learning environment. As a research-intensive scholar, Dr. King has an active publication and grantsmanship record with external- and internally funded research and evaluation-based projects.

Dr. King lives by the motto, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.” This quote from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s 1963 Letter from a Birmingham jail reflects the impact she seeks to make in the lives of individuals, families, communities, and systems.
