Abstract
This chapter explores the conceptual foundations of the HB&SE knowledge base through discussion of the role of, and debates around, the use of theory in social work research and practice; the historical evolution of the HB&SE curriculum as reflected in curriculum standards developed by CSWE and related debates; selected frameworks that hold promise in link human behavior with the social environment; and pedagogical applications that emerge from these frameworks. We argue that life course, cultural- psychological, social capital, neighborhood effects, and opportunity frameworks hold promise in conceptualizing person-environment interaction, integrating micro- and macro-level theory, and facilitating the translation of theory into useful practice concepts. We conclude with implications for future scholarly dialogue as well as HB&SE knowledge base and curriculum development.
