2013 Ethics Conference Speaker
Come hear Jack Register share his research on social justice. His session at the 2013 NASW-NC Ethics Conference will cover the current concerns in social work of doing “justice” work. The NASW Code of Ethics is clear in its mandate that all practitioners must work toward social justice. But what does this mean?

While the outward display of justice may have changed over time, there is as much “justice work” today as at the beginning of the profession.
