Dr. Joyce Lee Named SSWR Fellow

Congratulations to Dr. Joyce Lee who has been named a 2026 Society for Social Work and Research (SSWR) Fellow. SSWR Fellows are members who have served with distinction to advance the mission of the Society—to advance, disseminate, and translate research that addresses issues of social work practice and policy and promotes a diverse, equitable and just society.

The SSWR Fellowship has been established by the Society to honor and to recognize current SSWR members for their individual accomplishments, leadership and contribution to SSWR as a scientific society. SSWR Fellows serve as role models and mentors for those pursuing careers in social work research and will continue to actively advance the mission of the Society.

“It is a tremendous honor to be named a SSWR Fellow,” says Lee.  “I am thankful to SSWR for this recognition and look forward to continuing to contribute to the society’s mission through my research, mentorship and service leadership.”
