Hey dude who grabbed some python code to look into Sci-Hub's uTorrent metadata...I see you.

The Price of Placement (Part 2): Basic Needs and Well-Being of U.S. Social Work Students in Field Practicums is a tough but necessary read.

Price of Placement (Part 1): Basic Needs and Well-Being of the Invisible Social Work Workforce is a critical and comprehensive review of the social work literature on placement poverty. There *so many* student-authored research studies on this topic in the U.S.
