PRESENTER BIO:
Lauren Snedeker is an Assistant Professor of Teaching and Coordinator for the MSW Certificate in Aging and Health Program at Rutgers School of Social Work. Her areas of practice and scholarly interests focus on the aging experience, mental health during older adulthood, and caregiving experiences. Educating about the rich clinical opportunities that exist in gerontological social work, mentorship, and building community for MSW students are Lauren’s passions.
Lauren holds a master’s degree in social work from the Silver School of Social Work at New York University and received her Doctor of Social Work (DSW) from Rutgers School of Social Work. Over the course of her career, Lauren has worked in diverse settings serving the older adult population, such as hospitals, nursing homes, senior centers and privately by conducting home visits. She has experience working with individuals, families and caregivers. Additionally, Lauren has developed training, graduate-level curricula, content for continuing education events and professional conferences, and articles on age-related topics.
Lauren’s early research focused on debunking dominant narratives of the aging experience through qualitative inquiry. Lauren’s current research project includes a qualitative study with gero-focused social workers to better understand their workforce experiences and therefore increase the amount of those interested in this practice area. Lauren is also leading two research projects at Rutgers University that focus on interdisciplinary work between interpreters and social workers, and ways the school can lead age-friendly efforts on campus.
