    Allison Everett is an Associate Professor (Teaching Stream) and Master of Social Work Practicum Coordinator in the School of Social Work at Carleton University. She brings over a decade of experience in social work education, community practice, field education, and equity-focused leadership. Her work is embedded in advancing social justice and supporting historically marginalized communities, particularly African, Caribbean, and Black (ACB) communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As the Master of Social Work Practicum Coordinator, Allison provides leadership in field education and supports the development of ethical, reflective, and culturally responsive social work practitioners. She works collaboratively with students, Faculty Liaisons, and community agencies to strengthen meaningful practicum learning experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Allison is the Chair and Co-founder of the School of Social Work\u2019s Black History Committee. This initiative is dedicated to mentorship, celebration, education, and year-round recognition of Black histories, contributions, and lived experiences. Through this work, she has helped create spaces that foster belonging, amplify community voices, and promote equity within the university and broader community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Her scholarly research focuses on culturally responsive pedagogy, field education, and the recruitment and retention of underrepresented students in professional programs. Her research interests also include community-engaged and Africentric approaches to social work education and practice, with a particular focus on pathways to increase the recruitment and retention of ACB students in professional practice programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Allison teaches courses focused on social work practice with individuals, families and communities, social work values and ethics, as well as field education. Her teaching philosophy centres relationship-building, critical reflection, experiential learning, and supporting students in developing inclusive, ethical, and socially responsive practice skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Allison was named FACES Magazine\u2019s Professor of the Year in 2023 and 2024. In 2025, she received Carleton University\u2019s Faculty of Public and Global Affairs EDI Excellence Award and the Leading Ladies of Canada Award. In 2026, she was recognized by the Government of Jamaica for leading a Hurricane Melissa relief initiative that delivered essential supplies to affected residents. These honours, along with numerous other awards and recognitions, reflect her contributions to teaching, mentorship, equity, education, and community leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
