What began as a group project during the GSS Summer London experience turned into a professional social work conference presentation!

While abroad this summer, MSW students Brandon Kitchner and Alycia Shannon were tasked with designing a program a London settlement house could offer. They landed on three ingredients: tea (obviously!), film, and reminiscence. They presented their project at the 53rd annual State Society on Aging of New York conference this month in Saratoga Springs, NY.

"Social workers, I feel like micro, macro, we’re everywhere,” Shannon said. “That’s the one thing I’ve really discovered in this program.”

Social workers are using AI. But who is governing their usage?

Social workers are bound by the NASW Code of Ethics and state licensing rules, but none of these were written with GenAI in mind, and professional guidance is still emerging. GSS faculty members Lauri Goldkind, PhD, and Elizabeth Matthews, PhD, have been tasked with surveying the national landscape — the first step toward AI regulation that aligns with social work's values and supports the best care possible for clients.

Congratulations to Fordham GSS Professor Lauri Goldkind, PhD, who, as of this September, was appointed as a member of the Council on Social Work Education’s (CSWE) inaugural National Advisory Board for AI and Technology!

Goldkind, a leading voice on artificial intelligence (AI) in social work, is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Technology in Human Services and founder of the Participatory AI Research, Education and Development (PAIRED) Lab. Her current research has two threads: data justice and artificial intelligence in human services and nonprofits, and artificial intelligence in social work practice.

She will join fellow board members from universities across the country, including Columbia University, New York University, the University of Pennsylvania, and more.

Yesterday, we celebrated a year of Grounds Café! ☕️

Located in the Bronx just a short walk away from Fordham’s Rose Hill campus, Grounds is so much more than a place to grab coffee before class. The café grew out of a desire to put community first, in a setting where everyone is welcomed and celebrated. It’s truly a special place.

We are so grateful for GSS Professors Alonzo and Popescu (first photo)—along with the community partners, local residents, Fordham students, and friends from all over—for helping turn this vision of a cross-cultural safe space into a thriving reality.

Here’s to many more years of Grounds Café!

Cognitive offloading, doomscrolling, brain rot – we hear these terms on the news alongside a lot of alarm, but what does the science say about how technology impacts today’s youth?

GSS Assistant Professor Jenn Lilly, PhD, says the answer might not be so cut-and-dried. And she’s teaming up with Fordham’s Transdisciplinary Research Incubator to help that nuance cut through the noise.
