Jessica Pryce Biography
Dr. Jessica Pryce is a child welfare researcher, author, and advocate whose career spans more than 15 years across direct practice, policy development, research, and workforce training. Pryce began her work in child welfare as a frontline worker and later held positions in research, teaching, training, and policy development. She served as a child protective investigator with the Department of Children and Families before pursuing a doctoral degree from Howard University. Before joining Florida State University, Pryce was deputy director of the New York State Social Work Education Consortium, where she coordinated the Title IV-E funding program supporting child welfare employees seeking advanced social work degrees.
Florida State University appointed Pryce to lead the Florida Institute for Child Welfare, an institute established by the Florida Legislature to conduct research, policy analysis, and program evaluation of child protection and child welfare services. She directed the institute, overseeing its research initiatives and the Florida Study for Safe Families, a longitudinal study of Florida's child welfare workforce. Pryce remains on faculty at Florida State University's College of Social Work, collaborating with child welfare leaders through the Florida Institute for Child Welfare on organizational change initiatives, including the Alliance for Workforce Enhancement under the institute's GROW Center.
Pryce develops strategies to reduce racial bias in child protective services and curates research focused on legislative questions and social policy. Her work addresses workforce training and education, racial disparity in child welfare decisions, and disproportionality in the foster care system. Pryce has trained more than 200 child welfare organizations nationwide and serves on the advisory board for the National Child Welfare Workforce Institute, which supports the ongoing development of child welfare organizations across the country.
Pryce delivered a TED Talk titled "To Transform Child Welfare, Take Race Out of the Equation," discussing an experiment in Nassau County, New York, and advocating for systemic change. Her book, "Broken: Transforming Child Protective Services―Notes of a Former Caseworker," published by HarperCollins Publishers, examines racial inequity within the child welfare system and draws on her professional experience and the perspectives of caseworkers and Black women affected by the system. Pryce has also written on the historical trauma of sanctioned family separations in the United States. Through her research, writing, and public speaking, Pryce contributes to ongoing discussions about equity and reform in child welfare in America.
