Rigor as Liberation with Elwin Wu and Kelsey Reeder

In today’s episode, we approach the topic of rigor from the lens of social work instruction with Elwin Wu (https://socialwork.columbia.edu/faculty-research/faculty/full-time/elwin-wu/), Professor at Columbia University’s School of Social Work (CSSW), and Kelsey Reeder (https://kelseyreeder.com/bio), a Clinical Social Worker and PhD student in Advanced Practice at CSSW. We dive into the tensions between rigor, skill development, and providing care and compassion, and how instructors can maintain rigor while also seeking liberation.
