Katy Else

I joined the Social Work team as a lecturer at Plymouth University in March 2021. Previous to this I worked as a social worker in front line adult social services. I am an active and passionate practice educator and teacher. My focus is on optimism and hopeful social work practice. I like to use spoken word and poetry as a medium to give people a voice and to tell the story of social work and promote the good and positive work that social workers do.

My teaching interests are in Practice Placements, practice education, creative reflection on the self and social work identity and exploring what it is to 'be' a social worker in an ever changing world.
