"We have been slow to engage as a profession," Rogge says of social work's inclusion of the natural environment in research, teaching, and practice—a criticism shared by others interviewed here. She knows of no existing specialization or concentration in the United States or Canada for environmental social work or social work in natural environment, as she prefers to call it. But indicators suggest that may soon change.

It has become a truism that this new global war on terror is a different kind of war, open-ended in time and place. But all wars are different, and as this snapshot of today's returnees from Afghanistan and Iraq shows, so are the men and women who come home from them.

Social Impact: Scattered Image, Rick Skwiot
Social Impact
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.

Social Impact
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. The immigrants' numbers and fervor took many by surprise, but Luis Zayas, the Shanti K. Khinduka Distinguished Professor of Social Work and professor of psychiatry at the School of Medicine, finds nothing historically unusual in today's migrations.

As an academic discipline and a profession, social work is undergoing a dramatic transformation, embracing new standards of evidence, effectiveness, and accountability in both research and practice. Characteristically, the Brown School is leading the way, and Enola K. Proctor, associate dean for research, has become a national champion for the new standards.

Imagine a network of 10,000 trained educators who meet individually every month with families of preschoolers to maximize every child's readiness for school. Imagine the opportunity these educators have to foster literacy, learning, emotional health, sound nutrition, and an appreciation for human diversity. Imagine the promise for every child fortunate enough to participate.

In this book, the World is Flat, New York Times columnist Thomas L. Friedman posits that a global technological revolution has increased economic opportunities and create a world that is more connected than ever before. But does a flatter economic world equal a more just world? Are the benefits resulting from greater connectivity distributed in a way that everyone can share in newfound prosperity? The answer is an unequivocal no.

Welcome to the new era of "Productive Aging." As the first wave of baby boomers turns 60 this year, the typical retirement scenario of softening 60-somethings retreating into a vacation-like vacuum is passé. Healthier, wealthier, and better educated, this new generation of older adults seeks—perhaps “demands” — ongoing productive roles in mainstream society.
