"Social Work" (1 result)
Encyclopedia of Social Welfare History in North AmericaThe Encyclopedia of Social Welfare History in North America defines social welfare broadly to include education, informal mutual assistance, the development of the social work profession, and voluntary charitable activities as well as state supported public welfare activities. The coverage is therefore broad and interdisciplinary, including the fields of anthropology, health sciences, history, political science, social work, and sociology. The encyclopedia provides readers with basic information about the history of social welfare in Canada, Mexico, and the United States: how these three nations have dealt with social welfare issues, some similar across borders, others unique, as well as to describe important events, developments, and the lives and work of some key contributors to social welfare developments. ***WIU ID required for off-campus access.***Social Work
