Robert M. Bennett, PhD, LISW (he/him/his)

Assistant Professor
Indiana University School of Social Work
South Bend, IN, United States

Robert M. Bennett, PhD, LISW is a new assistant professor in the Indiana University School of Social Work at Indiana University South Bend. He earned his Master of Social Work and PhD from The Ohio State University College of Social Work. His master’s thesis, “The Poverty Attributions of Professional Social Workers,” was a study that led to development of the Poverty Attribution Survey (PAS), which is a measure of social workers’ explanations for poverty. Rob was a post-doctoral fellow in mental health social work at OSU’s Counseling and Consultation Service where he provided services to persons, couples and families, and groups. His dissertation, “Enhancing Our Understanding of Human Poverty: An Examination of the Relationship Between Poverty and Material Hardship,” was a novel approach to poverty measurement that connects income poverty and material deprivation through sensitivity and specificity statistics. Rob’s teaching passion is culturally-responsive social work, community and social policy social work, ethics, and research and statistics. His current scholarship grows out from his work on social workers’ poverty attributions and is an evaluation of outcomes from a poverty simulation, a high-impact practice, on social work students’ explanations for poverty.
