Bio

Kathy Lemon's scholarly interests are focused on how child welfare practices and policies influence child and family well-being, particularly among culturally diverse populations. She is the author of several publications focused on reunification and permanency outcomes among children and families involved in the child welfare system and cross-system collaboration. In partnership with SJSU colleagues and community partners, Kathy is the recipient of a California Social Work Education Center grant, for the “Child Welfare Partnership for Research and Training” (CW-PART), an innovative university-agency partnership for research and training.
