  1. Hello! I am Sean Callahan, a student in Dr. Kristin Bodiford's Social Research Methods class. I am in my third semester of Dominican's MSW program and will be focusing on school social work. I have four plus years of experience in working with traumatized children and adolescents in a residential setting as a recreation therapist. In working here, I have worked with many diverse communities and have observed/partaken in many intergenerational relationships. I hope this will benefit the targeted area of research. I am interested in clinical mental health, social and psychological research, social policy, creative interventions, and many other areas of social work. I look forward to collaborating and learning from everyone in the upcoming months!

  2. Hi, my name is Sean Kelly. I am in Kristin's Tuesday morning research methods class. I currently don't have a sequence selected, so I'm trying to spend this semester doing research on school social work to see if I want to specialize in school for my MSW. I'm new to social work, before this I had a job as a journalist and a marketing job. I'm hoping this class, as well as my other classes, will give me more knowledge in the different areas I can work in with my MSW.
