Gaurav R. Sinha PhD, MSW |
I am a social worker who immensely enjoys reading, writing, research, and teaching. My research and teaching interests have evolved from my 16 years of post-MSW practice experience on reducing the consequences of financial vulnerabilities among invisible populations, whose narratives have traditionally been situated at the outer periphery of intellectual and academic inquiry in social work. Broadly, my research agenda lies at the intersections of poverty, social justice, and mental health and utilizes big data analytics and strengths-based approaches to promote financial and mental health equity. I prefer rigorous and in-depth discussions of methodological approaches in studies that can help in research reproducibility. As I have thrived in the rich intellectual environment of academia, I am passionate about bringing my research and practice experience to classroom instruction. I enjoy being in a classroom: a living community that brings the best out of me. I put considerable faith in students’ capacities and feel that their development as successful individuals is the energy that drives my commitment to this profession. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the School of Social Work, University of Georgia.
