Ian G. Williams, LMSW (he/him/his)

Ph.D. student in Social Welfare at CUNY GC | Adjunct faculty at Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College

I am interested in understanding how technologies create new social relations and reconfigure existing ones. I am particularly curious about how these changes affect social work institutions and practices. Outside of academia, I am a social worker, a management consultant, and data nerd. I also play electric bass, albeit infrequently.
