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 research how technologies create new social relations and reconfigure existing ones. I focus these questions on social welfare institutions and practices. Outside of academia, I am a social worker. I play electric bass and bake bread, albeit infrequently.
