Series History

Season 4

In S04E09 "First Day", Professor Clawberg teaches Pawbert's Social Work Practice course (UNDSWUS 31). The classroom in Kibble Center features desks arranged in clusters to facilitate collaborative work.

She outlines the semester's requirements: students will work in teams to identify a genuine social issue in Zootopia and develop a community intervention proposal. She emphasizes the stakes: "This isn't hypothetical. Your proposals will be reviewed by actual community partners. The best ones may be implemented. So take this seriously."

Her course leads to the formation of Pawbert's project team with Maya Chen-Reyes, Hector, and Jun Tanaka, who develop a proposal addressing service fragmentation in the Rainforest District's lower canopy levels.

In S04E14 "Case Study", the team continues developing their mobile intake unit proposal under Professor Clawberg's guidance. Maya notes that Clawberg will likely have a strong reaction to their proposal---either loving it for its comprehensiveness or disliking it for making her look bad by comparison.
