Social Work Faculty 2025 - Rooted in Justice, Rising in Impact: Welcoming Our Bold New Faculty
This Fall 2025, the Morgan State University School of Social Work proudly welcomes an exceptional cohort of new faculty whose brilliance, passion, and lived experience embody the future of social work. With expertise spanning clinical innovation, public policy, health equity, youth justice, and culturally grounded healing, these scholar-practitioners bring fresh energy and deep commitment to our classrooms, research centers, and community partnerships. From national leadership in behavioral health and federal policymaking to transformative work in barbershops, global health, and cannabis justice, they are already reshaping the way we teach, learn, and engage. Their presence signals more than a new chapter—it marks a collective leap toward liberatory education, cross-disciplinary collaboration, and equity in action. This issue introduces each new faculty member and invites you to dream, connect, and build with us. Together, we are expanding the reach and reimagining the role of social work in the 21st century. Welcome to the future—welcome to Morgan.
