Faculty & Research

Our outstanding faculty have extensive experience and are some of the best instructors in the profession. They bring a wide range of knowledge and social work orientations—spanning  psychodynamic, psychological, and social theory perspectives.

Through consultation and their innovative, cutting edge research, our faculty assist social service, mental health, and healthcare agencies in program planning and evaluation. Their scholarly work addresses a wide range of concerns, including trauma, poverty reduction, public health interventions, the conceptual and philosophical foundations of clinical practice, assessment of social work education, and needs of vulnerable populations. It’s no wonder that NYU Silver’s NIH grant application success rate is twice the average.
