Leon and Josephine Winkelman Lecture Series
The Leon and Josephine Winkelman Lecture Series was established at the University of Michigan School of Social Work by the Winkelman brothers — Stanley J., John, Frederick R., and Henry R. — as a memorial to their parents.
The lecture series provides a forum for the presentation of new and emerging knowledge from the social sciences and the helping professions in the field of gerontology, and for the discussion of the application of such knowledge to the development of social policy, the organization and management of social welfare services, and the delivery of social work services.
The selection of topics and scholars reflects the interdisciplinary character of the series. This is in keeping with the representation of several disciplines in the School of Social Work faculty, the School's links with the social sciences through its Interdisciplinary Doctoral Program, and the School's collaboration with the School of Public Health, the Medical Center, and the Institute of Gerontology.
