Dr Renae Summers
Senior Lecturer
College of Education, Psychology and Social Work
I am passionate about supporting students to develop the knowledge and skills required for social work practice, so they can contribute to social justice and work towards social change. My PhD research explored young African refugees' experiences in South Australia. I have primarily worked in refugee resettlement. I have also worked in community health, palliative care and alternative care.
