Biography
Dr Denise Turner is an experienced, registered Social Worker and currently works as a Senior Lecturer in Social Work.
Her research interests encompass digital practices and death, loss and bereavement. She was Chair of the Advisory Group for the national Digital Capabilities project for Social Work, delivered by SCIE and BASW and is interested in the positive challenges of digital media. She has authored a book on parents’ experiences of the professional response to sudden, unexpected child death and is currently involved with research focused on bereavement and grief resulting from Covid19.
.... Overall, this book presents a useful volume of first reflections on a time that will mark many people’s lives. Deeper analytical work will follow, social work practice and education will change, and people will learn to be at ease with novel forms of distant communication. But Turner’s edited volume adds diverse and key voices to that beginning debate. It is well worth a read!
