Professorships at University of Chicago's School of Social Service Administration to advance research on mental health and major urban problems

The study of pressing urban social problems, such as child welfare, public education and community recovery following widespread trauma, will get special attention at the University of Chicago through research done by four current faculty members who have been appointed to named professorships at the University’s School of Social Service Administration.

“Each one is a scholar of great distinction whose work is having significant impact nationally and internationally. They are engaged scholars whose research and teaching actively improves the lives of the vulnerable,” said Dean Jeanne Marsh. “I am thrilled with these appointments. Collectively, they herald the extraordinary caliber of SSA faculty.”
