What does it mean to embed justice at the heart of education, technology, and field practice? In this episode, we have our host Michael Wallengren Lynch and Dr. Taskeen Adam, a researcher and educator whose work spans digital education, decoloniality, and global justice. Drawing on her framework of justice as content, process, and pedagogy, which also formed a part of the scoping review on decolonising social work field education, we explore how colonial legacies persist in the technologies and pedagogies shaping social work education today.

Dr. Adam challenges the field to look beyond superficial fixes and equity talk, inviting us into deeper conversations about structural inequalities, AI-driven marginalisation, and the need to centre power and relationality in our practices. We reflect on the limitations of current digital tools and the possibilities of decolonial approaches that value plural ways of knowing, being, and doing.

Whether you're a social work educator, student, or someone reckoning with the intersections of justice and technology, this episode offers provocations, frameworks, and hope for meaningful transformation.
