Social Work Events Masterclass on Poverty and Shame


Join us online for our live webinar Masterclass with Professor Anna Gupta and Dr Yuval Saar-Heiman.

This masterclass has been brought to you in partnership with Yorkshire Urban and Rural Teaching Partnership and Children’s Social Work Matters.

 

 

During this live session Anna and Yuval will talk to us about their extensive research on poverty and shame and the damaging impact of poverty and inequality along with the implications on practice. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions after their presentation.

Speakers

Anna is a Professor of Social Work at Royal Holloway University of London and co-editor of the ESWRA/Policy Press Research in Social Work series.  Anna has been working with parents in poverty for some years now and has written on poverty and shame.  Throughout her work she focuses on social justice and human rights, and is particularly interested in participatory approaches with people who have had lived experience of social work services.  Two recent publications are a co-written book: ‘Protecting Children: A Social Model’, and a co-edited book: ‘Unaccompanied Young Migrants: Identity, care and Justice’.

 

Dr Yuval Saar-Heiman is a Senior Research Fellow at Royal Holloway University of London.  He was previously a Lecturer at Ben Gurion University of the Negev, Israel where he completed his PhD on the Poverty Aware Paradigm and child protection system.  Yuval practiced as a social worker in a child and family community centre.  He is currently researching parental advocacy and participation in child protection in the UK.  He strives to connect critical and radical theories with everyday social work practice and to bring issues of poverty and social inequality to the forefront of social work with families and children.
