A community practice specialist, Prof. Daniel Brisson has focused his research and scholarship on community development issues in low-income neighborhoods. He currently is working on the Annie E. Casey Foundation's national Making Connections initiative, specifically on capacity-building among residents of Denver neighborhoods. The project is aimed at strengthening both communities and the families within them. Prof. Brisson teaches community practice, research and evaluation courses at GSSW.
"The goal of my teaching and research is to ensure that social work practice results in real changes for families living in poverty."
