I am an Associate Professor at Massey University, New Zealand. I see teaching as social practice and that its main purpose is to bring forth the world. I completed my Bachelor (BSW) and Masters (Master of Social Psychiatry) in Zagreb, Croatia and my PhD at Massey University, New Zealand. I created a Contact-Challenge method of teaching/learning social work where clients are invited as experts in dealing with social workers to help students to become better professionals, in return students help them in the way clients see fit. At the same time students learn theory and skills by participating in lectures and interacting with each other in a co-counselling manner. Integration of theory, practice and personal experience is the main focus of my academic work.
