Hybrid Event: Room G168 University of Worcester, St John’s Campus Edgar Elgar Building WR26AJ
This event will illuminate the experiences of Nigerian students as they learn and practice in a challenging social work environment. Social work teams are under pressure; media scrutiny remains primarily negative and the rise of the right in geo-politics has impacted all communities.
This event is being delivered through Kings College London and is organised by the Social Work History Network (UK) and the Social Welfare History Group (USA).
