About the Greenstone Lecture
Each year Loyola University Chicago's School of Social Work and the Institute for Clinical Social Work collaborate to bring a distinguished speaker to their audiences.
Joan F. Greenstone, Ph.D., for whom this annual lecture series is named, was a highly valued colleague on the faculty at both Loyola University Chicago's School of Social Work and the Institute for Clinical Social Work, prior to her untimely death in 1996.
She and her commitment to excellence in teaching, ethics, and clinical practice have been greatly missed. These lectures are funded through the generosity of Joan’s family.
