Social Work With Groups: Theory And Research
Us Social Work In Historical And Cross-National Perspective
Personal StatementMy primary areas of focus are social work with groups, agency-based practice, and organizational and community practice. I have been involved with a range of social work fields, settings and populations, both locally and internationally, including youth programs, child welfare, housing, older adults and intergenerational programs. I am committed to collaborative, participatory research and evaluation, seeking to engage practitioners, students and consumers in examining outcomes and planning new interventions. My research generally incorporates both qualitative and quantitative methods, and I am considered an expert in focus group research. I continue my long-standing interest in social work education, especially in relation to enhancing skill in social work with groups in both classroom and field.
