Most inside the social work profession agree that it has an image problem, which affects recruitment, pay, status, funding, and social influence. But they often disagree on who is a social worker, what the term "social work" means, whether to re-brand or scrap the term, who ought to do it, and what the image problem really is. Whatever it may be, it causes at least one social work school dean to worry "a lot" and the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) to launch a multi-year campaign to change the image.

As a child, Michael Willis lived in the Pruitt-Igoe public housing development, a cluster of 33 St. Louis high-rises that became national symbols of poor social planning. Elevators stopped on every other floor; there were few services nearby for families or recreational facilities for children. Not surprisingly, Pruitt-Igoe deteriorated, its corridors infested with crime, and was finally demolished in the mid-1970s, with the first buildings famously dynamited in 1972. Michael was there as an observer when he was a Washington University architecture student.

Immigration reform took center stage last spring as hundreds of thousands of immigrants from Latin America and elsewhere filled American streets to protest proposed legislation widely seen as harsh and punitive.

Khinduka Distinguished Professor of Social Work and professor of psychiatry at the School of Medicine, finds nothing historically unusual in today's migrations.
