Creating an Equitable City

The Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice is dedicated to working toward a more just and humane society through research, teaching, and service to the community. As one of the oldest and most highly regarded graduate schools of social work, The Crown Family School prepares professionals to handle society's most difficult problems by developing new knowledge, promoting a deeper understanding of the causes and human costs of social inequities, and building bridges between rigorous research and the practice of helping individuals, families, and communities to achieve a better quality of life.

Crown School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice

In more equitable school systems we find more students who are well-educated, self-aware, and well-grounded in their own identity — and thus able to build strong relationships with people who are different than them. This is the foundation of building a more just, equitable, and inclusive future for Chicago. Join us for this panel conversation on how we can create more equitable schools and communities that lay the foundation for a more just and inclusive society.
