SPOTLIGHT ON
Cox Presents Workshop; Promotes Books at Social Work Meeting in Orlando
Lisa Cox, professor of Social Work, presented an hour-long workshop, “Considerations When
Submitting Journal Manuscripts Examining Interprofessional Education,” at the 64th
Annual Program Meeting of the Council on Social Work Education, Nov. 8-11, in Orlando,
Fla.
Cox also participated in two “Meet the Authors” events during the conference. On Nov. 9, SAGE Publications hosted Cox and her co-authors Carolyn Tice of University of Maryland, and Dennis Long of Xavier University, featuring the second edition of their textbook, “Introduction to Social Work: An Advocacy Based Profession,” and on Nov. 10, Cognella Publishing hosted an event that featured Cox's edited book, “Narratives on Positive Aging."
“Participating in both ‘Meet the Author’ events was so rewarding because conference attendees shared how much they liked the advocacy model, content and resources found in the texts,” Cox said.
Amy Traylor, associate professor of Social Work at the University of Alabama, has used "Introduction to Social Work: An Advocacy Based Profession" for three years. “I was drawn to Cox, Tice, and Long’s book because their advocacy model emphasizes the transformative opportunities and contributions of social work at the clinical/client, organizational, community, national, and international levels,” Traylor said.
Cox is pictured right with SAGE Publications Acquisitions Editor Joshua Perigo.
Stockton Student Presents at Sports Medicine Conference
Harlee York, a junior Exercise Science major, presented at the Mid Atlantic Regional

Pa. She presented her abstract, “Analgesia, Hyperphagia and Behavior Modifications
are Mediated by Endogenous Opioids Following Forced Swimming Exercise” during an undergraduate
oral presentation session. York had received a Research Experience for Undergraduate
(REU) award from Stockton to help fund the project which is under the direction of
John Guers, assistant professor of Exercise Science.
“I’d like to thank Dr. Guers for being my mentor in helping me gain this valuable experience which I hope to build on in the future, doing more research and sharing it with the exercise science field. Next, I hope to get my abstract chosen for the regional conference in the spring and raise money with the Exercise Science Club in order to have more students also have the opportunity to gain valuable experience for the future,” York said.
