Courtney Jones

Senior Lecturer in Social Work

courtney-jones130I am a registered social worker and teach on both the undergraduate, post-graduate and post-qualifying social work programmes. I have a particular interest in anti-racist, anti-discriminatory and ethical practice as well as the social science underpinnings of Social Work knowledge.

I have a commitment to enabling students to develop skills and knowledge in dealing with social work’s diverse constituency. I have a student centred approach to teaching and learning which reflects the fact that I undertook my own professional training as a ‘mature student’. Having spent most of my working life as a farmer and running my own business, I recognise and value the opportunities that attending University later in life offers.
