    Linking up with History

    These timelines of American Social Welfare History are meant to guide you through an understanding of our history that is grounded in our traditional understanding of social welfare but which is also sprinkled with an attention to larger, structural mechanisms like structural racism, white supremacy, and colonization that calls us to question our assumptions and recognize the application of history and policy in our current work.
