MARY ANN FORGEY Associate Professor
Mary Ann Forgey, Ph.D., L.C.S.W. received her B.A. and M.S.W. from Boston College and her Ph.D. in Social Work from Columbia University. She has been a full time faculty member at Fordham GSSS since 1994. She has taught a range of practice courses in the foundation and clinical concentration and has also developed and taught electives in intimate partner violence and child maltreatment. Her interests include evidence based practice in intimate partner violence and child maltreatment and international social work education. In 2005 Dr. Forgey received a Fulbright Scholar Award and Faculty Fellowship to teach and conduct research at the University College Dublin (UCD) School of Social Policy and Social Work. While at UCD she taught courses in Foundation Practice and Intimate Partner Violence and also conducted a joint research project with UCD faculty on how Irish child welfare social workers assess intimate partner violence. She also worked with UCD faculty on the development of innovative videotape teaching methodologies for social work practice courses. Currently, she is the Principle Investigator on two research projects. One project involves the development and testing of a domestic violence assessment curriculum for the U.S. Army social workers using standardized clients (actors). The other project, which is a continuation of the research in Ireland, involves the exploration of the extent to which intimate partner violence assessment in U.S. based child welfare agencies is evidence based.
