Conversations - Social Work Professor Adam McCormack from Austin, Texas

Hello and welcome to conversations from the AandF podcast. 

This is a slightly different episode  I speak to Professor of Social Work Adam McCormick from St. Edward's University in Austin, Texas. 

We chat about Social work, social workers, aspects of the foster care system and the nature of the system in the state. We also consider the motivations of social workers to join the profession and see how their life experiences impact on them and their work. We also chat about the challenges faced by LGBTQ young people in foster care and the systemic hostility they face. 

You can see more of Adam here. 

As always if you’ve experience of adoption, fostering or special guardianship from any perspective personal or professional and would like share that on the podcast please get in touch through the Facebook page, BlueSky or email us at AandFpodcast@gmail.com
