Jason Anthony Plummer

Jason Anthony Plummer is a political social worker. His research focuses on identifying the ways in which racism prevents society having nice things like a functioning democracy, high quality of life, and a socially just society. Within social work practice, this translates as a focus on sociopolitical youth development, studying how teens and young adults become involved in their community on issues related to social justice. Another aspect of his research is understanding how social workers develop a social justice orientation and work with their clients as change agents.
