About the Author
Elizabeth Palley, JD, MSW, Ph D is a Professor and Director of the Doctoral Program at the Adelphi University School of Social Work where she teaches social policy to BSW, MSW, and Ph D students. She received her JD and MSW from the University of Maryland School of Social Work. She began her career working as a lawyer advocating on behalf of children with special education needs and families with lead poisoned children. Following her experience as a lawyer, she returned to school to pursue a Ph D from the Heller School at Brandeis University. Her research since that time has focused primarily on policy implementation and the challenges that implementers, often social workers, face as well as the unintended consequences of social policy on those it is designed to help. She has written extensively about special education, child care policy, and pregnancy discrimination in both peer reviewed journals and Op-Eds and is an editor of the Journal of Policy Practice and Research. In 2009, she had a Fulbright to South Korea where she taught at Yonsei University in their Social Welfare doctoral program. In 2014, she wrote In Our Hands: the Struggle for US Child Care Policy (NYU Press) with co-author, Corey Shdaimah.
Corey Shdaimah, LL.M., Ph D is the Daniel Thursz Distinguished Professor of Social Justice and Academic Coordinator for the MSW/JD and MSW/MPP dual degrees at the University of Maryland Baltimore School of Social Work. Her work focuses on how policies unfold on the ground, with a special interest in how people charged with implementing policy work in and around policies that they believe are unjust or inefficient. She is also interested in how people who are targeted by policies work around them. In the past ten years she has focused on prostiution policy, including prostitution diversion programs that target street-based sex work, dependency court reforms, and child care policy (often with Elizabeth). Because Corey is interested in learning from people who are most affected by policy but least often heard, her research methods almost always include participatory components ranging from input in research design, engaged qualitative techniques including ethnographic research and photovoice, and work with community groups about how and where to disseminate knowledge that will be of practical as well as academic use. Corey is the author and co-author of many articles, three books including Change Research: A Case Study on Collaborative Methods for Social Workers and Advocates (with Sanford Schram and Roland Stahl, Columbia University Press) and co-editor (with Katie Hail-Jares and Chrysanthi Leon) of Challenging Perspectives on Street-Based Sex Work (Temple University Press).
