Promoting Child Maltreatment Prevention and Advancing Equity

The UNC School of Social Work invites the public to participate in its inaugural Social Work Legacy Speakers Series: Promoting Child Maltreatment Prevention and Advancing Equity.

The Legacy Speakers Series will bring together individuals committed to strengthening the lives of children and families and addressing challenges and gaps in our current service systems. The goals of the Speakers Series are to create an enduring legacy of security and stability for families and to ensure that our community’s most vulnerable are not harmed by programs or efforts intended to buffer them from the effects of traumatic experiences.

Speakers:
• Leading welfare scholars Phillip Redmond and Tamika Williams of the Duke Endowment.
• Camille Quinn, an assistant professor at The Ohio State University (OSU) and health criminologist who examines the treatment of Black girls in criminal justice systems.
• Susan Yoon, an associate professor at OSU who examines child maltreatment and resilience with a focus on fatherhood/father involvement.
• Kathryn L. Maguire-Jack, a University of Michigan associate professor and one of the nation’s leading experts on child maltreatment.
• Michelle Johnson-Motoyama, an associate professor at OSU and CDC and NIH-funded researcher who examines state and federal policy at the intersection of economics and child maltreatment.

Other invited panel participants include youth and parent leaders, public and private community leaders, and UNC faculty.
