Welcome to the website for Global Social Work and Practice with Immigrants and Refugees!
Thinking Globally and Acting Locally at Silberman
There are many of us at the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College — faculty, students and staff — interested in global social work and practice with immigrants and refugees and the many roles for social workers in this growing and important field. This website is an effort to make accessing relevant information easier for you and we hope you will find it useful.
ANNOUNCEMENT!!
The U.S. Senate is now debating a Comprehensive Immigration bill that could significantly reshape immigration policy for many years to come. As politicians and lobbyists push for their specific interests, to help frame this debate in the context of the families and communities that are most effected by immigration laws–watch the powerful short documentary Sin País (Without Country) HERE. For more information, check out the ‘Resources’ page of this website!
We have access to the documentary as well, so if you are interested in seeing it, please contact susan.goodwillie@gmail.com!!
