Amy Krings

Amy Krings studies community-based social work practice, focusing on how communities respond to and organize around environmental and social harms, such as environmental gentrification (where environmental improvements displace lower-income residents), climate-related trauma, and gender inequities within community organizing. Her work also examines social workers' political participation and the education and support of social work practitioners and doctoral students. This research is grounded in real-world case studies, particularly in Chicago, and aims to inform both practice and policy in community organizing and social work education.

Publication output has grown unevenly but notably over the past decade, rising from zero in 2017 to a peak of 10 in 2025, with an average of about 5.6 papers per year over the last five years.
