The next leader of the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences is a sitting dean whose scholarship and practice focuses on the complex interplay of racism, violence and health.
Now at the University of Toronto, Dexter Voisin will join Case Western Reserve University in January.
“The Mandel School’s renown in education and research drew an extraordinary pool of candidates,” Provost Ben Vinson said. “Dexter’s success in Canada, coupled with the sophistication and empathy demonstrated in his research, indicated that he is the right person to lead our social work school in this moment.”
