The Social Work Routes Podcast
Welcome to Social Work Routes - a podcast dedicated to exploring the pathways to social justice work. We listen to the stories of people involved in social work and activism – what brought them to the field? Where does their passion for social justice work lie? What experiences have shaped their perspectives? And what hopes and dreams do they have for the future? We have conversations with people around the globe to hear their stories of activism and change-making. My name is Kris Clarke and I am an associate professor of social work at the University of Helsinki in Finland. Join us on Spotify to listen to Social Work Routes -- stories of personal, political, and social transformation.
