The overarching goal of the School of Social Welfare’s Annual Forum on Social Justice is to advance social justice in ways informed by and resulting in research, public policy, and practice that advance a more equitable democracy given the fundamental relationship between health and economic vitality for all members of society.    

The purpose of this inaugural forum is to elevate Latinx scholarship on the UC Berkeley campus by featuring impactful scholars, related professionals, and colleagues, committed to lifting Latinx social positionality and wellbeing.

This inaugural forum, the first of five over the next half-decade, officially brands a major signature event for UC Berkeley’s School of Social Welfare, made possible by the generosity of John Wilson and Beclee Newcomer Wilson (MSW ’90), longtime supporters of the School of Social Welfare, and members of the Dean’s Alumni Advisory Board that have committed to one of the largest planned gifts in the School’s history to promote social justice through the School and UC Berkeley. They are proud to include this forum as part of their legacy.
