Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) is a co-sponsor of BU Sargent College’s 2025 Meredith E. Drench Lecture, “Variations on the Problem of Goodness,” delivered by world-renowned author Tracy Kidder.
Among Tracy Kidder’s enormously influential books is “Mountains Beyond Mountains” which chronicles the extraordinary work of Dr. Paul Farmer, a pivotal figure in international health care who served as an advisory board member for the Center for Innovation in Social Work & Health (CISWH) at BUSSW prior to his death in 2022. The school’s Paul Farmer Professorship is named in his honor.
