Threaded throughout the book are milestones and evolutions in social work education as well as first-person accounts from alumni and current and former faculty.
"It was a great pleasure to write about a school that has always dedicated itself to educating women and men who wish to do good in the world," says O'Connor.
This book also features some of the great leaders in the field of social work, who played a part in the Brown School history: among them, Roger Baldwin, Julia Stimson, Frank Bruno, Benjamin Youngdahl, Shanti Khinduka, and Michael Sherraden.
O'Connor, author of Beginning a Great Work: Washington University in St. Louis, 1853-2003, is an award-winning writer and editor, who has written extensively for regional and national publications.
