Research Statement
My main research interests are in the area of digitalization and professional education, in particular, how social work education socializes students for practice in an emergent social world. Recent projects include: an examination of the contribution of social work education to the preparedness of students for practice in the connected age; and Academic Advisor to a project investigating ‘The Digital Capabilities of Social Workers in England’ in order to improve practices in this area.
