Hi Social Work Discoveries Listeners,

Here’s Episode 2 (Part 1) of my conversation with Professor Jim Ife from Western Sydney University.

In this episode Jim discusses the need for social workers to embrace community development, and start looking towards alternative ways to support our communities in this tumultuous and finite world.

Thanks for listening!

Ben.
