Episode 28 – Forensic Social Work: A specialised social work practice – in conversation with Dimi Lattas
Hi Listeners,
Welcome back to the Social Work Discoveries Podcast.
Today’s guest is Dimi Lattas from the University of the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland Australia. Dimi is a qualified social worker and family therapist. Her research focuses on forensic social work and, specifically, forensic social work education. Dimi is specifically interested in forensic social work pedagogy and developing educational practices that support student learning and professional expectations. This includes curriculum design, simulation, and technology.
Dimi is also a board member for It’s Sunny Somewhere. A charity that uses a holistic outdoor activity model to support young people who are at risk of coming in contact with the justice system.
We hope you enjoy the conversation.
Ben.
