Faculty Affiliates

The MCSI invites faculty members of the School of Social Work and other UT schools to work with MCSI as faculty affiliates. As affiliates, we encourage you to engage with us around shared research interests that intersect with MCSI focus areas. We are interested in facilitating research collaboration among faculty and staff.
