Grounded by formative experiences working in the gender-based violence field and movement building spaces; Bethany Jo Murray interrogates the nexus of social movements, social work, and law enforcement in the United States, both historically and contemporarily. Within this context, she explores the potentials of anti-carceral social work practices employing archival, oral history and qualitative methodologies. Bethany is a PhD candidate at UCLA and earned her Master in Social Work from the University of Minnesota. She serves as a board member of Abolition Perspectives in Social Work and fellow of the California Social Welfare Archive.
