The Social Work Stories Podcast

This episode features an interview with Mark Isaacs, author of landmark books such as The Undesirables - Inside Nauru, and The Kabul Peace House, as we hear about his first-hand experience working in Australia's offshore detention centre in Nauru, and subsequent work as a whistle-blower and advocate for refugee rights.
Join Lis and Mim as they process this confronting story and explore the challenges of ethical practice in such an intense environment.
