Melissa Iverson

Dr. Iverson teaches in the Leadership and Social Change MSW concentration. In her role as an educator, she focuses on connecting classroom theory and learning to current social issues students see at their internships and in the human services organization domain. She uses an active learning and collaborative teaching approach to create a participatory environment for students to build upon their diverse lived experiences, develop practice skills, and co-construct knowledge. In all of her classes, she focuses on the intersection between racial and social justice and identifying how each course can build knowledge and skills to support efforts in combating social injustice.
