| Biosketch | Emma Campbell is a Lecturer in the Department of Social Development at the University of Cape Town. Her research interests include criminal justice, forensic social work and more recently climate justice. As a passionate climate justice ally, Emma is part of the steering committee for the African Network of Environmental Social Work (ANESW). She is concerned about the adverse impact of climate change on vulnerable groups, particularly women in developing countries. Lower-income communities and marginalized groups are disproportionately affected by the ‘double injustice’ of climate change. Social workers are well positioned to work with these vulnerable groups by building on indigenous knowledge systems to strengthen climate resilience, adaptation, and disaster management systems as well as advocate for more inclusive transition to the green economy. Emma has a growing interest in greening the University curriculum to ensure social work students are equipped to work in this rapidly changing context. |

| Abstract | Turning the students green: integrating climate change into the Social Work curriculum is a reflective presentation focusing on ‘greening’ the BSW curriculum. A 4th year Social Policy and Management course is used as an illustrative example for how academics could navigate coursework changes that integrate climate change while still aligning with National norms and standards. It is imperative that Social Work graduates are equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the rapidly changing context, both for themselves and for the communities they support. The presentation will provide further motivation for climate inclusive curriculum design as well discuss how this can still align with course norms and standards. Illustratively, the presentation will discuss content and assessment shifts and end with some key reflections and insights. |
