With extensive experience in culturally sensitive and anti-oppressive social work, Prof. Tedam will share insights from her research on the role of social work interventions in addressing peer violence and promoting student wellbeing in boarding school environments. This seminar explores the complex issue of peer-to-peer violence in Ghanaian boarding schools, highlighting its profound impact on children’s safety, wellbeing, and educational experiences. Drawing on research and practice insights, it examines how social workers can play a pivotal role in prevention, early intervention, and advocacy within these unique institutional settings.
