New Memoir Details Author’s Journeys Navigating Political and Social Environment while Juggling Life’s Other Demands
NEW YORK (PRWEB) July 26, 2018 -- Author Richard K. Caputo chronicles his journey navigating the social environment from the 1960s through the 2010s and juggling the demands of university life in his memoir, “Connecting the Dots: A Social Work Academician’s Memoir of Intellectual and Career Development” (published by Archway Publishing).
Caputo shares lessons he learned about finding his voice as a scholar, overcoming obstacles, and navigating the rigors and expectations of university life. Along the way, he pays homage to the mentors that helped him succeed in various roles: as a student, paraprofessional in the field of mental health, professional social worker and as an academician. In “Connecting the Dots,” Caputo also relates his thinking and scholarship in such areas as social justice, economic well-being, discrimination, caregiving, basic income guarantee, adolescents and religiosity, and the philosophy of social science.
“Job and career changes are more common today than they were over the course of my career, so readers will learn how I fared in a ziz-zag career path with all its ups (successes) and downs (failures, misjudgments, mistakes),” Caputo explains. “Also, many of the social problems that my scholarship addressed continue to haunt society.”
