Sianay Chase Clifford, MSW (She/Her/Hers/they) is a Visiting Professor of Social Work in the School of Social Innovation.
Sianay is a macro social worker and policy practitioner focused on advancing policy that serves communities that have been historically burdened with the weight of state-sanctioned policy violence and neglect. Sianay’s areas of policy expertise include maternal health justice, health disparities, and economic justice, which she has been immersed in at the state, local, and federal levels of government. She has mobilized this expertise as a Congressional Black Caucus John Lewis Social Justice Fellow, working in collaboration with the CBC National Racial Equity Initiative.
Sianay has developed culturally expansive curriculum including workshops, retreats, and audits for institutions of higher education.
Sianay loves collecting jazz & soul records, traveling the world, and going out to eat.
