Did the individual identify themselves as a social worker and/or activist?

This assignment is adapted from Professor Lanza’s class at UW Seattle School of Social Work. Given the scope of information and time period covered in this class it is difficult to fit in all the elements of our social work history. This assignment is designed to provide a unique view of the historical founders of the social work profession. The goal is to learn about our social work roots and the efforts of the individuals who helped shape our profession.. Students will complete a power point presentation (maximum of 10 slides) . 1. Provide a brief summary of the individual’s life and work. Include a picture of the founder and a quote from them about their work. (1-2 slides). 2.
