Social Work Journeys
Official podcast of the Graduate School of Social Work and Social Research (GSSWSR) at Bryn Mawr College.
Season 4 looks at social work from an interdisciplinary lens. Together we’ll hear from thinkers and changemakers from outside the world of social work as we explore how their ideas and work intersect with our own.
Join us as we follow the people, stories and winding paths that shape the world of social work.
