A New Generation of Social Workers?

I really enjoyed this article from the Huffington Post about Kate Barrow, a recent graduate from New York University, who has started a new "grassroots collective." The collective works to "empower Social Workers to instill social justice" back into social work practice, something Kate feels is not always included in the curriculum.

Chapter 4: Theory and Approaches to Social Work Practice includes a section on several social work theories and how they can affect social work practice. Might be worth checking out and considering which of the theories can be applied to Kate's approach - if any.
