SZN 3 EP 7. [R]EVOLUTIONARY‪!‬ F.A.C.T.S. | Factual. Authentic. Captivating. Transformative. Stories |

On today’s F.A.CT.S. podcast, host Kevin sits with Dr. Kirk “Jae” James who is a Clinical Assistant Professor at NYU Silver. Jae was born in Montego Bay, Jamaica, during a period of political and social unrest. He would ultimately migrate to the United States at ten years old with his mother in search of a better life. In 2013, Jae completed a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania School of Social Policy and Practice titled “The Invisible Epidemic: Educating Social Work Students towards Holistic Practice in a Period of Mass Incarceration.” As a professor at NYU, he utilizes his firsthand knowledge and research to educate, train, and work with governments, community-based organizations, social workers, and advocates with social justice agendas throughout America, the Caribbean, and Africa. Jae believes education is our greatest tool for liberation and social justice.



In this episode, we are going to share some unique rooms that social workers found themselves in and the journey of entering the profession.
