E. Franklin Frazier Center for Social Work Research E. Franklin Frazier was a leading American sociologist and scholar -- and a Howard graduate - known for his research into the effects of social problems upon African-American people. He produced nine books and over 100 articles and essays challenging conventional research in the field of social work. Founded in 1995, the E. Franklin Frazier Center celebrates Dr. Frazier's contributions and strives to advance knowledge of and find solutions to social problems within the context of a diverse and multicultural environment. Under the guidance of director Dr. Michael Udo Mbanaso, the Center fosters collaborative research projects with community agencies such as the U.S. departments of Housing and Urban Development, Education, and Health and Human Services. Past research has spanned multiple disciplines, from Fetal Alcohol Syndrome to violence prevention and its impact on the cost of public health care. The Center also supports leadership training for young women, assists homeless families with children in need of shelter in the Washington D.C. area, and studies the resettlement of Afghan refugee families in Afghanistan. The Center operates with researchers from the Howard University School of Social Work faculty and provides research training to organizations within the community. New contributions continue to fund the Center's research efforts and provide additional resources for the creation of new research initiatives.  |
