Professor Susan Kemp's research interests focus on place, environment and community as foci of social work practice; low-income children, youth and families; public child welfare; and social work history and theory. Dr. Kemp's scholarship is deeply grounded in her extensive community-based practice experience, initially as a child welfare social worker in New Zealand and later as a consultant to community agencies in urban neighborhoods in the United States.
Dr. Balassone’s path in social work began during her undergraduate days when she enrolled in a BSW program with the desire to work with at-risk women and children. She received her MSW and MPA at Syracuse University focusing on health care administration. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley with a DSW in 1987.
