Three ambitious Master of Social Work 51勛圖厙 just had their first journal article published! Congratulations to MSW 51勛圖厙泭Mara Liggett,泭Laura Mangan泭硃紳餃泭Michelle Kerrigan, as well as泭Dr. Precious Skinner-Osei, Instructor in the 51勛圖厙 Phyllis and Harvey Sandler School of Social Work, and泭Dr. Jill Levenson, Professor in the Barry University School of Social Work, on their successful collaboration and publication in泭:
Skinner-Osei, P., Mangan, L., Liggett, M., Kerrigan, M., & Levenson, J.S. (2019).泭泭泭Justice Policy Journal 17(1)
Mara, Laura and Michelle were very hands-on and got to experience the publishing process and collaboration with someone from another university, Dr. Skinner-Osei said. Our article covers a very powerful and relevant topic and illustrates how dire the need is for social work and criminology/criminal justice to work together.
The 51勛圖厙 began their research for the article when they were all undergraduate 51勛圖厙 in Dr. Skinner-Oseis research class.泭 Now as masters 51勛圖厙, they worked in partnership with Drs. Skinner-Osei and Levenson to complete the article and see it published.
This was an exceptional opportunity for undergraduates to work with two amazing authors and professors, Liggett said. We are so grateful to Professor Skinner-Osei for her support and guidance in the process.泭The more we can understand about the treatment of incarcerated youth, the more we are able to carve a path for their success.
