“I find stories to be powerful and I take inspiration from them in my scholarship. I feature stories of people who are hard to reach and attempt to open counternarratives of migrant women. I am thrilled to be a part of the Social Work Routes Podcast. For me, the team provides a space to learn and grow together. As social workers and researchers, we get to learn from every conversation on the podcast with change makers from all around the world. It also makes us think more about our impact beyond academia and the broader implications for social work practice.”
