Biography

Mim Fox is an internationally recognised writer, podcaster and researcher in social work healthcare, social work practice and social work education.

Jonathan B. Singer, PhD, LCSW, is an internationally recognised expert in youth suicide and social work technology.

'This book showcases the importance of bringing social work education and practice into contemporary contexts through podcasts. By utilising such platforms, the learning experience is enriched, enabling social work educators to create learning opportunities and environments that support emerging social workers that are engaged, and ready to enter a profession striving to make a difference.'

'Podcasting in Social Work Education is a pioneering book for social work educators that presents a transformative vision of podcasting in social work education. The authors explore the many creative uses of podcasting, and, importantly, place it in the context of many other types of experiential learning and the use of digital technology for teaching and learning. Readers will emerge not only with a deep understanding of the myriad of ways that podcasting can advance and enrich social work education, but also with the insight that podcasting needs to be recast as an essential element of a profession based in oral traditions, reflexivity, and critical thinking. This will be a core reference on my bookshelves for many years to come.'

'Jonathan Singer and Mim Fox have created a new language for social work educators and students that draws Voice and Listening to the fore as core social work skills. Podcasting provides an immersive and transformational medium for deep engagement with Voice in ways that text and the written word cannot mimic. This book gives a rich kaleidoscope of ideas that will expand the horizons for all, inclusive of practitioners and people prepared to tell their stories, for those willing to listen, and for those looking for new ways to teach.'
