School of Social Work
Welcome to the School of Social Work at Carleton University
Welcome to the Carleton School of Social Work, where we teach, study, and carry out research into the profession of social work and, specifically, social work practice in the areas of social policy, community work and clinical interventions with individuals, families and groups.
The School of Social Work at Carleton University has a longstanding commitment to social justice that is rooted in its founding of the structural approach to social work. This unwavering commitment underpins our teaching, our research, and our extensive engagement with communities and organizations locally, nationally, and internationally.
We invite you to meet the members of our remarkable team of faculty, instructors and administrative staff who make our School so successful in all that it does.
