Alan Keith-Lucas (1910–1995), known during the early part of his life as Alan Lucas, was a social worker and professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill who worked primarily in the field of residential childcare. Early lifeAlan Lucas was one of three sons of Alys Hubbard Lucas and Keith Lucas, inventor of the first aeronautical compass. His brothers were the aeronautical engineer David Keith-Lucas and the political scientist Bryan Keith-Lucas. After the death of Keith Lucas in 1916, his wife Alys changed the family name, and, as Alys Keith-Lucas, edited a short book giving his background together with reminiscences of him and a list of his publications.[1] He was educated at Gresham's School and then at the University of Cambridge, graduating Bachelor of Arts, a first degree which as usual later gave him the title of Master of Arts. Interested in the emerging profession of social work, not then studied at post-graduate level in Britain, Keith-Lucas moved to the United States. At Case Western Reserve University, he earned a master's degree in social administration, and he went on to take a Doctorate in Philosophy from Duke University.[2] CareerIn 1950, Keith-Lucas joined the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He also founded the Group Child Care Consultants Services, a vehicle to help private and public group homes better serve their juvenile population. He was later named Alumni Distinguished Professor Social Work. As a consultant, Keith Lucas was well regarded.[3] He often held controversial and challenging views in regards to childhood development and the structure of group homes.[3] He believed in the primacy of getting the larger family unit involved, using state welfare agencies as a temporary reprieve for children while an intervention was made to get the family back on track.[4] BeliefsAlan Keith-Lucas' ideas about how to intervene with problematic family situations were sometimes controversial. Unlike many others in his field, he readily endorsed the use of group homes as the first, not the last, intervention.[5] His positions were sometimes unpopular with administrators, and especially policymakers.[5] RetirementThough he retired from active teaching in 1975, Keith-Lucas was still heavily involved in social work. He served on the board of the North American Association of Christian Social Workers, lectured, and consulted with residential child care agencies.[6] He continued to write and publish journal articles and books until his death in 1995. His collection of personal writings and correspondence are archived at Roberts Wesleyan College [7] PublicationsBooks
