In this timely discussion, Dr. Timothy Clancy, assistant research scientist at the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism at the University of Maryland; and Vanessa Navarro (MSW’24), democracy fellow at the Campus Voter Project at BUSSW and Vot-ER fellow will share how social workers can leverage their understanding of systemic injustices to vote discerningly and advocate for policies that uphold social work values – especially in an age of rampant disinformation.
