Support Your Fellow DSO members!

As the 2016 SSWR (The Society for Social Work and Research) Annual Conference quickly approaches, I thought it would helpful for DSO members to know who’s presenting what and when. If you are going to be at SSWR, stop by one of these amazing poster and oral presentations to support your peers and learn more about their interests! Of course, this blog is just meant to highlight DSO members and, therefore, I excluded other co-authors from this list… but please recognize them too!
