Prior to that, between 2016-2018, she was a Principal Lecturer in Social Work at Anglia Ruskin University and between 2006-2016 she was Senior Lecturer in Social Work at the University of Northampton. Prospera’s practice background is in Children and Families (specifically in Child Protection, Children Looked After, Fostering and Adoption.) Prospera was the Children Safeguarding Advisor to the Home Office between 2011 and 2018 and her research interests are around culturally sensitive practice, anti-racist social work and anti-oppressive practice learning and her preferred theoretical lens is Critical Race Theory. Prospera’s doctoral research examined the placement experiences of Black African Social Work students in England. Prospera is the author of a very recently published book titled Anti-Oppressive Social Work Practice published by Learning Matters.
    Much of our discussion revolves around Prospera's new book and focuses in particular extensive work on anti-oppressive social work and a series of studies she conducted in this area.
