Lance believes that loving and guileless relationships are at the heart of social justice and human flourishing. His lifelong professional quest is to attempt to embody this philosophy in my teaching and scholarship. Lance enjoys helping students succeed and feel like their contributions to social work are important. In his research, he is seeking to understand: educational, training and supervisory processes that strengthen student and practitioner competency in clinical practice with families and couples as well as client voice in identifying how practitioners help clients strengthen their relationships.
