I am a university teacher for more than 20 years.  My students graduate to become social workers in their own countries the world over.   I have maintained contact with many of my students who have  helped to establish or supported community based organizations advocating for human rights, gender equality, envrinmental justice to name a
few. I recognize the importance of international networks and the sharing of common resources such as knowledge and best practice experiences.   
I am committed to working with sectors that recognize the power innate in social movements  initiated by civil society.  As an educator, I try to communicate how academic learning is transformative when knowledge contributes to the thriving of communities.
