Social workers seek to empower and advocate for the vulnerable and oppressed and generally improve the well-being of society. The profession has matured and continues to evolve, says Professor Ann Buchanan of the University of Oxford, England. She joins us to examine the history and future of the profession and we'll learn about Case Western Reserve University's pioneering place in the training of social workers.Ann Buchanan, PhD, Emeritus Professor of Social Work & Senior Research Associate, Department of Social Policy and Intervention, Oxford University
