Associate dean for doctoral education Cynthia Franklin discusses how to integrate practice and research in the social work profession in a new issue of the InSocialWork Podcast Series.
Franklin and professor Jeane Anastas (Silver School of Social Work, New York University) frame the profession’s commitment to evidence-based practice as an ethical and accountability issue, and explore the science of social work practice. Among other topics, they comment on the factors that complicate practitioners’ adoption of evidence-based practices, discuss the struggle for those in the trenches of practice, and acknowledge the professional dynamics that limit who gets to initiate the research questions.
