Blog for Professional Writing & Presentations

This blog contains links to presentations and workshops I have done as well as my weekly blog posts on teaching and other professional activities.   Right now I have links for two presentations I have done. “Art & Radical Hope: When evidence is not enough”  was done July 5, 2018 in Dublin, Ireland at Social Work Social Development 2018, and  “Grant writing & program development for Human Services” was a workshop presented on August 25 for the Valdosta State University, MSW program Consortium.
