We are pleased to announce that Trent’s Centre for Teaching and Learning and the Department of Social Work will be hosting a Distinguished Visiting Teaching Scholar Speaker Series this upcoming academic year (2024- 2025). Dr. Dominelli is the third and final speaker in the 2024-2025 Greening Higher Education series presented by the Centre for Teaching and Learning and Trent Social Work department.

Plenary Session: Greening the Social Work Curriculum to Engage in Averting Climate Change Disasters: A Transdisciplinary Approach to Theory and Practice.

Climate change is one of the greatest social challenges facing contemporary societies. This presentation provides green social work perspectives on what social work academics and practitioners can do to integrate extreme weather events (floods, heat waves, coastal erosions among others) into their daily routines in the academy, in practice and in their lifestyles as citizens living in communities that require nurturing.
