The Boston College School of Social Work (BCSSW) endeavors to improve vulnerable lives through pioneering social work education, research, scholarship, and practice at home and in the world.

Social work practice faculty position is a leadership position for equity, justice, and inclusion at the School. Two areas of functional responsibility will be assigned to this position: (1) Director of RISE 3 and Chair of the Leaders for Equity and Justice at the Workplace Field of Practice; and (2) teaching up to four courses in the macro social work practice sequence.

Research on Social, Economic and Environmental Equity (RISE 3 ) is a collaborative initiative at the Boston College School of Social Work that seeks to examine and address the root causes of social, economic and environmental inequities which are situated in the intersections of race, place and poverty.

The Director of RISE 3 will be responsible for working with an advisory committee, setting a bold research and policy agenda, and fundraising, and teaching classes in the MSW curriculum related to leadership for social change.
