Her research interests are guided by two over- arching themes, social work education and the culture of the profession, and generally fall within three domains: professional socialization, educational innovations, and educational outcomes. Some specific projects in which she’s currently engaged explore questions of professional socialization; professional self-care; critical thinking as a process and outcome; social work’s environmental paradigm; and trans- disciplinary educational approaches. She’s currently collaborating with colleagues from engineering to develop trans-disciplinary approaches to education for reflective practice in a global society, and with colleagues

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the way innovation and entrepreneurship have been integrated intoan engineering curriculum through a year-long liberal arts seminar. This three-coursesequence has “The City” as its topical focus, and it incorporates principles ofentrepreneurship and innovation through course content specifically centered on theseconcepts through experiential learning in a service project, and through critical thinkingand rhetorical analysis of students’ own research strategies using the Burkean parlormodel of academic and professional conversation.In Fall Quarter, students read texts, view films, and study other cultural products relatedto the concept of “The City.” They examine how depictions of entrepreneurs andindustry illuminate our

Working in multidisciplinaryteams provided an opportunity for both engineers and fine art majors to gain an appreciation thatboth majors work hard but in different ways. The artists described how the experiencehumanized engineering, but gatekeeping did emerge when it came to engineers painting andmaking creative choices on the project.
