It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.
A CNN crew witnessed at least two professors detained by Atlanta police, including @EmoryUniversity economics professor Caroline Fohlin and Noëlle McAfee, chair of the philosophy department. #FreePalestine cnn.com/business/live-news/c…

Happy @WorldSocialWorkDay! We had a delicious lunch & spectacular turnout to hear our amazing MSW students talk about their work in their home countries of Colombia, Nigeria, and Tanzania. A wonderful event and great day @UGASocialWork !

The building that the UGA School of Social Work resides in has a unique and storied history that few knew about. Until @janemcphers uncovered it, that is. Now that story and its ties to the profession are part of our MSW curriculum. #uga #socialwork #

One of my favorite conference traditions is taking a walk with
@UGASocialWork's @janemcphers. The conversations are always great. And we got to see some very cool things in DC. #SSWR2024
