The University of Chicago | The history of social work | The Day Tomorrow Began @UChicago | Uploaded March 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
In 1920, Edith Abbott and Sophonisba Breckinridge founded one of the country’s first graduate schools of social work at the University of Chicago. There, they conducted social science research—a radical approach at the time—to get at the root causes of social issues.
Today, the school is known as the Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice, and it is widely recognized as one of the country's leading social work schools. Students and faculty address our society’s most complex problems—child welfare, mental health and social inequity—to work toward a more just, humane society.
Learn more about how UChicago scholars' pioneering research and groundbreaking contributions continue to shape our world.
