Rutgers School of Social Work faculty members Drs. Ashley Jackson (Assistant Professor), Lenna Nepomnyaschy (Professor), and Emmy Tiderington (Associate Professor) authored policy briefs addressing three Grand Challenges for Social Work. Their briefs provide evidence-based policy recommendations for promoting smart decarceration, ending economic inequality, and ending homelessness. These are helpful tools for communicating with stakeholders about some of the most pressing issues we face and identifying effective policies for which to advocate.
