On 8 January, 2024, APSS held the first International Scholar Talk 2023/24. Our department was privileged to have Prof. Jim CAMPBELL, Emeritus Professor of Social Work at the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice, University College Dublin, as our distinguished guest speaker. Dr Janet LEUNG, Associate Professor, and Dr Paul Vinod KHIATANI, Research Assistant Professor, from APSS served as the moderator and respondent of the inaugural event respectively.
During the Talk, Prof. CAMPBELL discussed his groundbreaking research on social work and political conflict in Northern Ireland. Also, on the topic of navigating challenges and maintaining social work values, he shared with attendees his valuable experiences as a social work educator and practitioner in conflict and post-conflict Northern Ireland. The Talk was well received by attendees, which included students and faculty members from the PolyU community and beyond.
