Alice Gates is trained as a sociologist and social worker whose professional and academic work has focused on issues on building political power for disenfranchised groups. Most recently, her research and practice have focused on understanding caregiving and strengthening work-family policies at the state level. Her previous community-based research (also involving UP undergraduates) was used to advocate for the FAMLI Equity Act, Oregon’s new paid family and medical leave policy that was signed into law in August 2019. Gates teaches courses on social welfare policy, social justice, critical perspectives on multiculturalism, and other aspects of macro social work practice.
