She will share her reflections as a practitioner, researcher & social work educator on the historical and contemporary role of social work practice & research as it relates to transformative change. The session will allow for greater awareness and discussion regarding: a) gaps between social work theory and practice; b) importance of social and relational processes pursuant to social justice; c) need for participatory parity to ensure that individuals and groups are able to engage as full and equal peers within society; and d) importance of social work pedagogy that supports critical reflexivity.
