In Conversation with Professor Prospera Tedam SFHEA
Join me for an inspiring conversation with the remarkable Professor Prospera Tedam, from the School of Social Policy, Social Work and Social Justice at University College Dublin. Professor Tedam takes us on a journey through her career spanning both academia and frontline practice, sharing insights which are sure to resonate with social work professionals, students, and those passionate about social justice.
Professor Tedam opens up about her fascinating five-year experience working in the United Arab Emirates, offering her perspectives on how social work practice translates across different cultural contexts and what she learned from this vital experience.
Professor Tedam is passionate about school social work as a specialism. She discusses:
- The tremendous value this field brings to children and their families
- How school-based social work creates impact in the lives of vulnerable children
- Why school placements offer enriching and invaluable learning experiences for social work students
Professor Tedam created the MANDELA Model, which was designed to support and enhance the experiences of student social workers, with particular sensitivity toward Black and minoritised students who are not well served. Hear the story behind its creation and how it’s making a difference in social work education.
Professor Tedam teases exciting upcoming research outcomes, scheduled for release in 2026.
