In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by international event riders Arthur and Logan Duffort. Arthur and Logan Duffort are international event riders and trainers who run their business, Otis Eventing, from a farm in the Loire Valley, France. They began managing a yard together in 2012, shortly after getting married. Between them, they boast an impressive list of accomplishments. Arthur spent four years riding for Andrew Nicholson and has competed up to the 5* level, earning placings at Burghley and completing both Badminton and Pau. He was selected to represent France in the 7-year-old World Championships and has secured multiple wins and placings at national events, ranging from pre-novice to advanced levels. Logan spent two years riding for William Fox-Pitt, one year with Laura Collett, and also rode part-time for Mark Todd. She was selected to represent the USA in the 7-year-old World Championships and at the London Olympic Test Event. In this episode, Arthur and Logan discuss topics related to training and working as a team, including: • Their backgrounds in horses and the story of how they met. • Developing a training system that blends and enhances their individual styles. • Establishing a camp designed to teach young riders how to build a professional career in the industry. • Exploring the cultural differences between France and the US when it comes to horse training and sales. Join Arthur, Logan, and Sinead in this exciting conversation about bridging their backgrounds and creating a successful business.

In this episode of “In Stride,” Sinead is joined by international 5* event rider Jesse Campbell. Jesse Campbell is a highly accomplished international 5-star event rider. Born and raised in New Zealand, he moved to England to train under renowned eventer Andrew Nicholson. At just 21, he was selected for the New Zealand Eventing High Performance Squad, based in the UK. That same year, he secured his first European CCI 3-star championship title. At 22, Jesse established his own competition yard in the Downs of Marlborough. In 2013, he represented New Zealand at the Eventing Nations Cup Championship, achieving a top-ten result—one of the highest scores for the New Zealand team. Over the course of his career, he has claimed 21 major national and international eventing titles and sports awards. Jesse was married to fellow event rider Georgie Strang, who tragically passed away in 2024 following a riding accident. In this episode, Jesse discusses topics related to his career and life experiences, including: • How he handled losing his wife, Georgie Strand, and what helped him get through it. • The differences in horse training and management in New Zealand and the UK. • How sports psychology has helped him in his high-performance career. • Starting a foundation for his late wife that focuses on young rider grants and cross-country safety. Join Jesse and Sinead in this exciting conversation about finding strength in the horses.

What happens when you create something and then a player leaves? What sort of fun stuff have you gotten to do as a result of being a maker?  Along the way we talk about Sharks vs Mosquitoes, Rip City vs Florida, Damian Lillard, Jusuf Nurkic, how this whole Dame trade is probably just a giant, hilarious misunderstanding.

Guest: Bayley Johnson - Australian social work student in training Introduction to this episode The social work (SW) student perspective on eco-social practice (ESW) offers interesting insights into the principles of that practice for a number of reasons. Almost by definition, many students will come to an eco-social framing of practice with little or no prior experience, theoretical preferences or practice assumptions. In addition to presenting an intellectual tabula rasa, and the freshness of view which often goes with it, students in training are encouraged, systematically, to reflect and think critically about their learning and practice placement experience. My guest on this episode of the podcast series, Bayley Johnson, brings such a fresh and critical pair of eyes to the eco-social work field. At time of interview, Bayley was heading into his final training year within a four-year, Batchelor of social work training course conducted by the University of Queensland in Brisbane, Australia - and was soon to become secretary of the University of Queensland Social Work Society He undertook his first, supervised, 500 hour practice placement with an eco-social work orientation in the first half of 2022. During that time, Bayley worked with the Darling Downs Environment Council, a peak regional environment group in S.E. Queensland, Australia, dedicated to the preservation and protection of the environment (natural, built, and managed) and the enhancement of values which promote sustainability. In our discussion, Bayley draws upon that first placement experience, and his subsequent critical reflections on eco-social practice, to answer some of the standard questions posed to all guests throughout this series. SUMMARY OF MAIN INTERVIEW TALKING POINTS  - with approximate time elapsed in minutes. General Introduction – 0.50 QUESTION 1: For you, what is ESW practice in 2022? – 2.50.

Full title: Green Social Work: A 21st Century Challenge for Practitioners, Academics and Students Guest: Professor Lena Dominelli, PhD, AcSS, is a qualified social worker and holds a Chair in Social Work at the University of Stirling. Amongst her many contributions to the social work profession she helped create the concept of green social work as a new paradigm for theory and practice; and her 2012 book of the same name attracted much professional interest. She has developed a range of research interests of great relevance to green and eco-social work practice, including climate change and sustainability, extreme weather events in the context of disaster intervention, community vulnerability, sustainability and resilience. On the international stage she has represented the social work profession at United Nations discussions on climate change since 2010. Introduction to this episode: My guest in this podcast episode, Professor Lena Dominelli, is well qualified to talk about aspects of historical, social work practice trends toward greater physical environment incorporation. She invented the term green social work (GSW) and for over a decade now she has developed a range of research interests of great relevance to green social work applications. These include, climate change and sustainability, extreme weather events, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions - in the context of disaster interventions, community vulnerability, sustainability and resilience. On the international stage she has represented the social work profession at United Nations discussions on climate change since 2010, and  for a long time, she led Pillar 3 of the Global Agenda for Social Work, focussed on Promoting Community and Environmental Sustainability. In 2012 she saw publication of her influential book, Green Social Work: From Environmental Crises to Environmental Justice - which has become a standard introductory text for the subject. In this episode, I talk to Professor Dominelli about the current state of play of green social work practice for various constituencies of social work service users internationally, and in the context of accelerating physical environmental challenges.

Transcript of verbal update 'A warm welcome to the Eco-Social Work in Australia podcast series for both new and returning listeners. I am Andrew Nicholson producer of the series, and I want to give a quick update on its progress at this its first anniversary date. Since launch in early June 2021 the series has achieved 1350 downloads across its 17 episodes. This result exceeded my initial expectations of audience response and encouraged me to extend the life of the series into 2023. Given that its initial focus has been on Australia based eco social work practice it has been unsurprising that the bulk of the initial audience for the series has come from this country - but there has also been a small and  growing audience in the USA, UK, Germany and other parts of Europe. This international audience interest was one reason why I decided to start to interview eco social work practitioner guests based outside of Australia, and I intend to continue this approach into next year. But wherever listeners are based - in Australia or internationally - if you have enjoyed listening to podcast episodes - can you please consider giving the series a positive review on your podcast app? And if you or any of your colleagues have a story to tell about eco-social work practice - and you think you might like to be interviewed for the series - please consider contacting me directly to discuss the opportunities for a possible future interview. My contact details are in the notes accompanying this announcement. I'm now taking a break from podcast work for a few months and plan to be back interviewing and producing new episodes for the ESWA series from late September 2022. In the interim, please consider promoting the series through your networks and consider adding to its content by being interviewed about your own experience of and ideas about eco social work practice. In this year of marvellous international sharing and collaboration in eco-social work approaches, as exemplified by the Peoples Summit event in June and July; and through the help of our podcast audience, we look forward to reaching the goal of at least 2000 episode downloads of ESWA by the end of 2022 - and the continued podcast diffusion of eco social work ideas, values and practice examples to as wide an audience as possible as we go into 2023. My name is Andrew Nicholson and I offer my very best wishes for progress in all of your  eco-social oriented endeavours. Thank you for listening.'

Guest: Dr Meredith Powers(she/her) - Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work at University of North Carolina, Greensboro, USA Introduction to this episode: The Eco-Social Work in Australia podcast series has been expanded to include guest interviews with social work professionals who either practice outside of Australia or with individuals who work in closely allied fields, such as public health or psychology. This has been a conscious decision made in light of the recognition that social work is a global as well as national profession, and one which benefits from the sharing of interdisciplinary knowledge and expertise, particularly in connection to dealing with the practice implications of increasing physical environmental challenges such as global heating and climate disruption. My guest in this episode is a good representative of this more cosmopolitan direction for the series. Dr. Meredith Powers(she/her) is an American based and internationally focussed practitioner across a range of roles. Dr. Powers is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Social Work at UNC Greensboro, USA. She teaches and conducts community engaged scholarship on topics of climate justice, climate migration, eco-social worldviews, and eco-therapeutic practices for well-being. She is the Founder and Director of the Climate Justice Program of the International Federation of Social Workers. And she also established and co-administers the global Green/Eco Social Work Collaborative Network.

Guest: Dr. Dorothee Holscher: Lecturer, School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work, The University of Queensland, Queensland, Australia. INTRODUCTION TO THIS EPISODE: For many practitioners, eco-social work approaches are transformative in their intent and objectives around linked physical environment and social justice concerns. Some examples are the recent social work call in Australia for far more ambitious national greenhouse gas reduction efforts, and advocacy around greater social and environmental justice for marginalised communities impacted disproportionately by the effects of global heating and climate change. Such advocacy is predicated, in part, on a critique of neoliberal capitalist economic development models which are accelerating both environmental damage and socio-economic inequality around the world. The transformative turn within social work practice is a central interest of my next guest, Dr Dorothee Holscher, a social work researcher, academic and educator with a research interest in the social work response to the nexus of environmental and other social injustices – most recently as these have affected some Australian indigenous communities, as they responded to challenges posed by coal mining and river health impacts in their country. In today's interview, we talk about this research and its implications for social work practice, as well as another of Dorothee's interests concerning the ways in which a more critical focus can be brought into social work training. She cites the work of the influential philosopher, critical theorist and feminist thinker, Nancy Fraser, as an important influence on her own social work training practice. Dorothee does not strictly consider herself to be an eco-social work practitioner, but I have included her in this series because her work, touching as it does upon critical appraisals of the negative and oppressive effects operating across social, environmental and economic interdependencies is, for me, a good example of a holistic worldview in operation. The principle of holism, for example as it relates to the inclusion of physical environmental concerns operating across micro, meso and macro levels of intervention, is a core principle informing eco-social work practice.

Guest: Dr. Heather Downey, Senior Lecturer in Social Work and Social Policy and member of the Centre for Freshwater Ecosystems at Latrobe University, Albury Wodonga. INTRODUCTION TO THIS EPISODE The crucial importance of water as a resource to support the economic, social, cultural, recreational, and environmental wellbeing of human society and the natural world cannot be overstated. This is particularly the case in Australia, the driest inhabited continent, whose water security challenges have further intensified in response to global heating and climate disruption trends. As a key, multifaceted resource, water has received far too little attention even though it is directly linked to those trends. Within Australia, the rural agricultural sector has become something of a test bed for growing concerns over water security and fair allocation of this precious resource to a range of users. So, what might be a potential role for eco-social work practice in this contested space of rural water access and the not always successful attempts to balance the  social, economic and environmental justice needs of water users? My guest in this podcast episode, Dr. Heather Downey, is well qualified to offer some answers to this question. Amongst her many roles, Heather is Chief Investigator of research within the Many Meanings of Water for Australian Rural River Communities project and participates in the collaborative, multidisciplinary Murray Darling Water and Environment Research Program. As a regional social work academic, Heather is well positioned to examine relationships between people and the natural environment, and more specifically, in the economic, social, cultural, recreational, and environmental meaning of water for all rural residents. Heather talks with me today about the potential of eco-social work (ESW) approaches to regional community water security, value and meaning.   INTERVIEW TALKING POINTS – with approximate time elapsed location in minutes.

GUEST: Beni McKenzie, social worker in practice in the Gold Coast region of Queensland. Beni is Vice-President of the AASW (South) Qld Branch and a member of the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW) National Advisory Panel for Climate Action. Over a number of  years, Beni has been active in finding ways to embed eco-social work practice principles into his mainstream work and opportunities to spread the word on eco-social approaches to his colleagues and other social workers at local, regional, and national levels.  INTRODUCTION TO THIS EPISODE An upsurge in green or eco-social work theorising can be traced back as far as the mid to late 1990s but its incorporation into mainstream practice in Australia has been a much more recent phenomenon. Academic research and social work training institution interest in eco-social work approaches started to pick up here around the mid-2000s and was given increased impetus by World Social Work Day events in 2017 themed on ‘Promoting Community and Environmental Sustainability' one of the sustainable development (SD) pillars of the international, Global Agenda for Social Work and Social Development initiative, launched in 2012.  Stimulated by the increased interest in eco-social work ideas occurring at that time, a number of branches of the AASW, the peak social work organisation in Australia, started to meet, to share eco-social work ideas and practice and to network this information with colleagues. INTERVIEW TALKING POINTS –approximate time elapsed location in minutes. Guest self-introduction – 2.38 Guest perception of ESW practice in 2021 – 5.05 How can ESW help tackle climate change and other SD challenges? – 7.21 Why should the SW mainstream be involved with physical environmental challenges? – 11.47 Opportunities for ESW practice in the short to medium term future. – 15.20 Meso and macro level ESW advocacy focussed on climate change and public health – 18.56 Guest closing comments - including reflection on the lack of a systems approach to current environmental budgeting in Queensland – 23.25 Close of interview – 30.43 REFERENCES AND RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THE DISCUSSION Associate Professor Jennifer Boddy Griffith University – see various relevant research outputs Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) “is an internationally recognised think tank that shows through independent research and innovative solutions how Australia can prosper in a zero-emissions economy.” For example, see BZE's Million Jobs Plan which shows “how in just five years, renewables and low emissions projects can deliver 1.8 million new jobs in the regions and communities where these are needed most.” Professor Lena Dominelli – see various relevant research outputs The Climate and Health Alliance (CAHA) is “a coalition of health care stakeholders who work together to see the threat to human health from climate change and ecological degradation addressed through prompt policy action. The membership of CAHA includes organisations and individuals from across the health sector, with organisations representing health care professionals from medicine, nursing, public health, social work and psychology, as well as health care service providers, research and academic institutions, and health consumers.” A good example of CAHA's diverse campaigns and projects is its advocacy with the federal government to develop a National Strategy on Climate, Health and Well-being for Australia. Micro, meso and macro practice opportunities within eco-social work. For some suggestions see: Boetto (2017)  AASW CPD training (2020) and Nicholson/CAHA (2020) Author Bruce Pascoe's book Dark Emu (2014) which ‘puts forward an argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer tag for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians. The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating, and storing — behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag.' The book has generated much public debate and some useful critique since its publication. Project Drawdown: ‘The World's Leading Resource for Climate Solutions' with a ‘mission to help the world reach “Drawdown”— the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change — as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.' The educational resources on the website are well presented, engaging and solution focussed. For example, see the Climate Solutions 101 video series. Queensland state budgetary support announcements for renewable energy and low carbon technologies in 2021. Quiet time spent in nature – there is a growing understanding in Australia and internationally of the health and wellbeing benefits of spending time in the natural world or green spaces. Self-care – especially maintaining adult mental wellbeing in the face of climate and eco-anxiety and eco-grief. The NFP Psychology for a Safe Climate group based in Melbourne have a wealth of relevant resources on their portal site. A growing number of groups and organisations are also exploring the best way to support the health and wellbeing of children in the face of similar stressors – including the Australian Psychological Society and the Emerging Minds group. Systems mapping. Discussion about future social work assessment approaches which incorporate physical environmental factors is also occurring about health sector and hospital based social work roles. For example, it has been suggested that existing patient/client protocols for psychosocial assessment, intervention, education, and discharge planning for vulnerable groups could be modified to include immediate physical environmental threats such as heat waves or mental health vulnerabilities associated with longer term physical environmental impacts. Such impacts are already  occurring in the aftermath of natural disaster events intensified by global heating. Social work skills could also contribute to community climate change adaptation planning strategies to better protect future human health and wellbeing as global heating impacts increase.

I'm excited to have Andrew Nicholson, CEO and founder of Osprey Flight Solutions, join the show. Osprey Flight Solutions is an organisation that is driving a quantum shift in the capabilities available to the aviation industry for security risk management.   Andrew spent 12 years in the Royal Navy and 6 years with UK Special Forces, which included operational tours in all major conflict regions. Leaving the military at the height of the Somali Piracy phenomenon, for 3 years Andrew led the maritime and oil and gas divisions for the largest provider of maritime security in the industry.     Andrew moved to International SOS and Control Risks in July 2014 to head up the aviation security team. Realising that the industry's requirement for risk management support had changed in the wake of the MH17 disaster, Andrew co-founded Osprey, which is now recognised across the industry as the leader in open-source risk management data, developing innovative tools to support all operators, no matter their size or resource, in conducting comprehensive and accurate risk management. One of the many highlights in this episode is Andrew talking freely about his leadership approach.

Welcome to a new podcast series on eco-social work practice: ‘Eco-Social Work in Australia.' PURPOSE: A key objective of this podcast project is to help grow a conversation and interest about eco-social work amongst listeners. The researcher and producer of the series, Andrew Nicholson, is a retired social worker and environmental educator. He and his guests want the series to expand over time to provide an audio record of evolutionary trends in eco-social work practice (ESW) adoption in Australia and elsewhere. They hope that this process will add to the knowledge base of ESW and make a contribution to increasing the speed of uptake of such practice amongst mainstream social work colleagues, in their workplaces, in professional groups, and in networking with other allied professionals. Andrew invites feedback from interested listeners. BACKGROUND: Recent climate disruption and pandemic disease impacts on public health and wellbeing in Australia and internationally have provided a stark illustration of the serious and often disproportionate vulnerabilities experienced by communities, including social work clients, produced through physical environmental impacts. On current greenhouse gas emission trends, we know that climate disruption impacts, for instance in the form of intensified weather events, are set to get worse; and that the COVID-19 pandemic is caused by just one of many other novel viruses which could pose considerable risks to human health in the future. Both the growing climate emergency and increased vulnerability to pandemic disease are the results of human caused physical environmental damage and disturbance. In the light of such threats, A recurrent theme in this series is the need for a greatly increased social work focus on the inextricable link between helping achieve client wellbeing and social justice outcomes, and the associated need to protect the wellbeing of the natural world, and to achieve environmental and ecological justice outcomes in that process. Professional association advocacy for a safer climate, and factoring climate disruption impacts into hospital-based, client health assessments, are just two examples of the physical environmental focus within an eco-social work approach. Another is working to help human communities develop more mutually supportive relationships with the other than human communities of the natural world, which underpin and are so crucial to human and other species wellbeing  Over the last fifteen to twenty years, starting from a low base, there is now an accelerating interest in eco-social work ideas and practice in Australia. Notwithstanding this progress, in 2021, eco-social work remains a marginal concern within mainstream professional practice in this country. At a time when all sectors of society need to make a full, fair and proportionate contribution to tackling interconnected physical environment, ecological and social justice challenges, it is important that we find ways to boost, rapidly, the level of mainstream social work adoption of eco-social work practice in this country and elsewhere, to ensure our profession makes that contribution - and this podcast series is one small attempt to help that process. FORMAT: Each podcast interview is loosely structured around four key questions put to guests: For you, what does eco-social work practice mean? How can eco-social work help tackle climate disruption and other ecological sustainability concerns in practical terms? Why should the social work mainstream here be involved with such concerns? What could or should the short to mid-term future (2-10 years) hold for eco-social work interventions as a body of practice within the Australian social work mainstream? DISTRIBUTION: The producer hopes that the series will be promoted across relevant networks as widely as possible. He aims for a minimum of twenty individual episodes and 1000 downloads achieved by mid-2022. The first twelve episodes of Eco-social work in Australia are available now on: PODBEAN  SPOTIFY  GOOGLE   STITCHER   PLAYERFM and APPLE PODCASTS For inquiries or feedback about the series, please contact the producer, Andrew Nicholson, at E: anicholsona@gmail.com or on M: 0413979414 . These details are repeated in the podcast episode text notes. Some individual guest speakers also supply contact details.

GUEST: Louise Whitaker – coordinator of the Bachelor of Social Work and Bachelor of Community Welfare courses at Southern Cross University, NSW. Prior to joining academia, Louise managed programs promoting access to legal services and practiced in mental health.  Her research is practice based, addressing critical reflection and social inclusion. Introduction to this episode: One definition of environmental or eco-social work (ESW) is that it is an approach which ‘seeks to create a society in which ecology and social justice are valued and humans live in harmony with ecosystems' (Ramsay & Boddy, 2017). It is said that one way that social work practice can achieve these objectives is to support ecologically transformative social change. Amongst other things, such change would promote an ecologically centred understanding of the world and support greatly reduced environmental degradation. Eco-social work methods and frameworks would also seek to incorporate, wherever possible, a valuation of the natural environment, spirituality, and indigenous cultural knowledge into all aspects practice. Equally, the longstanding ‘person in (social) environment' metaphor at the heart of traditional social work practice has come under increasing scrutiny as one factor in the slow pace of adoption of eco-social work approaches. One increasingly prevalent view is that an outmoded practice focus on purely social environment influences connected to client challenges needs to be complimented by an understanding of physical environment influences and impacts, such as those linked to uncontrolled climate change. These influences are becoming increasingly relevant to client interventions. My guest on this podcast episode, Louise Whittaker, is interested in exploring a novel economic frame within which an expanded person in environment perspective might be helpfully located. She has been following the work of renowned British economist Kate Raworth and her ecological economics model of ‘Doughnut Economics'. In our discussion, Louise talks about the compatibility of Doughnut Economic ideas with eco-social work practice and sustainable development (SD); and how this economic model could provide a useful, future research and professional dialogue framing to aid the further mainstream adoption of eco-social work approaches.

GUEST: Dr Susan Bailey - senior lecturer in Social Work at Edith Cowan University, Western Australia.  Sue has lived all her life on Whadjuk Noongar Country. Her curiosity, dangerous as a toddler but transformative as an adult, led her to a PhD in social work that consolidated her belief in the importance of social and ecological justice. For over 25 years Sue has worked in academia, government, non-government, and community sectors where she has developed her skills in working alongside people using participatory approaches.  She has a reputation as a practitioner, educator and researcher who is deeply engaged, inclusive and authentic – she lives the values she espouses. Sue is a collaborative leader in bringing eco-social work to the mainstream of social work understanding in Australia. Her eco-social work practice focuses on addressing the wicked problems of ecosystem degradation, climate change and mass extinctions using a loss and grief framework. Her practice (community work, education, and research) supports individuals, families, organisations, and communities across the world to engage a change process to both mitigate and adapt to a climate changed world. At the heart of this work is a commitment to supporting humans to reconnect with their eco-systems that they rely upon to live.  INTRODUCTION TO THIS EPISODE: My guest on this episode of the series, Dr Susan Bailey, undertook her original PhD research on social work responses to terrorism and the context of violence perpetrated on ‘the other' and it was through that work that she first came to realise the importance of an ecological perspective in helping to understand global problems and associated social work approaches. Most recently Susan has extended such interest into teaching and researching on eco-social work approaches (ESW) using a grief and loss framing as a core part of her work. Sue believes that we live on an Earth that is changing in ways that will make it challenging for some if not all humans to live well into the future. The recent fires, floods, COVID-19 pandemic, and the changing climate, are all consequences of a Western philosophical positioning that situates humans outside of their eco-systems. A particular recent research interest of Dr Bailey has focussed on the way in which urgently needed, high level responses to global heating and climate change impacts are still too often being denied and resisted. Even as the climate emergency continues to unfold, there remains in some quarters what is known as a socially constructed silence on the subject. Susan and her colleagues believe that climate change denial and resistance can be theorised, in part, as a form of grief response to the damage and loss caused to the natural world by human impacts. In this episode she talks with me about how her work might be applied within future eco-social theorising and practice. INTERVIEW TALKING POINTS – with approximate time elapsed locations.

GUEST: Dr Peter Jones - Senior Lecturer in Social Work and Human Services at James Cook University in Townsville. INTRODUCTION TO THIS EPISODE:  Green, environmental, or eco-social work (ESW) – is an exciting, still-evolving body of ideas and practice emerging within the social work mainstream, internationally. Within Australia, over the last ten years or so, a lot of the development of eco-social work theory, and examples of practice has emerged from within the social work training institutions in Australia. For instance, social work training courses at Charles Sturt, James Cook and Edith Cowan, and some other training institutions, have incorporated eco-social work ideas, skills and methods into the education offered to their students. A number of the guests on this podcast series are academics, researchers and social work trainers who work in those institutions. This episode of the eco-social work series focusses on the work and ideas of one of the pioneers of eco-social work theory development and application to student social work training in Australia, Dr. Peter Jones is a senior lecturer in social work and human services at James Cook University, based in Townsville, Queensland. Peter has over 25 years' experience in the fields of social work education, where he maintains a particular focus on the application of transformative learning theory. His interests also include eco-social work practice, sustainable community development, international social work, and international student exchange. He has published scholarly work in all of those areas. INTERVIEW TALKING POINTS - approximate location in minutes elapsed.

GUEST: Trena - social worker, social work educator and serial activist, based in Boorloo (Perth) WA INTRODUCTION TO THIS EPISODE: A particularly important principle within eco-social work practice is the emphasis given to the concept of holism. Holism and holistic framing are important ideas also found in ecological, environmental and systems theory. Defined in one way, holism is concerned with understanding and appreciating the dynamic interconnection of the parts or elements which go to make up a system; and gaining knowledge of ways to support those systems, understood as the interactive sums of their parts. Within eco-social work, an example of a holistic framing might be observed in the reflections of a practitioner who consciously aligns their professional values and interventions with those in their personal life, or vice versa; or who is aware of the holistic continuity of their personal value system with their professional practice principles; or who seeks alignments, wherever possible, on their interventions across micro, meso and macro levels of work; for instance in the role of individual, employee or professional/citizen activist. My guest on this episode of the series, Trena, is a social worker of long experience who has achieved such a holistic integration of her personal values and professional practice orientation. She considers that all of her professional practice, her SW teaching, as well as her personal life history with its various roles, are unified by her longstanding concern for the marginalised in society; and the goal of improving their wellbeing through social justice advocacy. In our conversation, Trena reflects on some of these holistic personal and professional continuities in the context of recent social work concerns about uncontrolled climate change impacts and other sustainable development concerns (SDC), as well as the public uproar over recent evidence of continued, misogynistic disrespect for women and girls in Australian society in 2021.

When Foot and Mouth disease struck the UK in 2001, it caused a major crisis in agriculture and the British countryside. Hundreds and thousands of sheep and cattle were slaughtered in an attempt to halt the disease, footpaths were closed and the countryside effectively closed down. Cumbria was one of the worst affected areas of the country and many farmers found themselves at the very heart and soul of the crisis as mass livestock burials and plumes of black smoke from burning pyres destroyed their livestock and their lives. Ten years on, Helen Mark visits Cumbria to find out how they have coped with the crisis since then. Some farmers chose to rebuild their lives in completely different ways but many continued to farm whilst also diversifying into other areas. Helen hears from farmer, Trevor Wilson about life after Foot and Mouth and from vet, Iain Richards, who found himself in the thick of the outbreak, travelling from farm to farm to diagnose sick animals. Once the disease was confirmed, Iain would then be declared a 'dirty' vet and would have to remain at the farm until the animals had been destroyed. Helen also meets Andrew Nicholson who, with his wife Karen, had only been farming in Cumbria for a few years when the disease broke out. Andrew lost many of his valuable Herdwick sheep but now has one of the most remarkable stories to tell of how he dealt with the crisis. And Helen visits the former airfield which became the burial ground for thousands of slaughtered animals and hears from Frank Mawby and director and retired farmer, William Little, about the way in which the local community voted overwhelmingly to turn the site into what is now the Watchtree Nature Reserve.
