This month, Fordham GSS alumna Chelsea Bonosky, GSS ’23, presented her research at this year’s National Association of Social Work Foundation’s (NASWF) Pioneers® event.
Bonosky’s research presentation was titled “Benefits of Movement Interventions: Prevention and Rehabilitation.”
“Being able to present at the NASW Pioneer Luncheon alongside a panel of such inspiring colleagues was a true honor,” Bonosky said. “Representing research on the power of art interventions and their intersection with young girls and women’s rights is the foundation of my work—which resonated with many in the field of whom I admire.”
Bonosky’s work in this area of research dates back to her time as an M.S.W. student at GSS. She also presented her findings at last year’s New York Academy of Medicine 14th Annual Student Night.
As a student, Bonosky also served as an integral student member of GSS’s Institute for Women and Girls and completed a field internship with the United Nations.
The NASW Social Work Pioneers® program honors members of the social work profession who have contributed to the evolution and enrichment of the profession. The Pioneer Program identifies and recognizes individuals whose unique dedication, commitment, and determination have improved social and human conditions. Since its launch in 1994, the Pioneer Program has inducted almost 900 accomplished individuals to its rolls. A comprehensive collection of their stories can be found within the Pioneer Biography Index.
