The study is a timely one, and useful to folks who care about social workers' ability to influence policies that impact social issues and their purported solutions. Please share with social work policy organizations, educators, activists, and researchers.

Dr. Taylor is not new to these struggles, and I believe that she (as an often unsung hero of the environmental justice movement) will have wise words for many of us (individually and collectively) who are struggling with understanding the big picture and taking it one step at a time.

These questions are even more pressing in a political environment that is openly hostile to the communities and places most impacted by environmental injustice.

I strongly encourage folks to attend, especially anyone concerned about / working on intersectional environmental and climate issues - and how to address them in a fair and inclusive way.

Exactly - when I saw your question about what books to include, it made me think that you would have liked the call-in. Next time though, and perhaps one focused on teaching organizing. <3

I would also be excited to read it as well, or to trade. I relied heavily on Mariame Kaba's work in several classes but partially that was bc while teaching at Loyola, it was SO clearly relevant to the Chicago context. I still draw from her, but will diversify / update readings for next semester.

It included breakout discussions about supporting students, the communities in which we practice, and each other as educators in 2025. Lots of strategy questions, commiseration. and resource sharing (ex: social welfare historical content). 50+ in attendance so there is demand for more in 2025

I do agree that this is likely to be valuable even for folks not teaching social policy next semester.
