ABSTRACT

The Center for Social Justice Research and Education at Saint Louis University has implemented a model of collaborative research and education among social work practitioners, university faculty and students. The partnerships promote creative practice of social justice in the community.

Social workers in community agencies articulate the relevant practice problems for students and faculty; faculty offer methodological and resource 28assistance to practitioners; students learn social justice best at the intersection of the perspectives of university and community. Steps in the implementation of the model and examples of the collaboration are described. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-HAWORTH.
