Professor Jioji Ravulo: How to be your authentic self, lived experience and why you’re not different until someone treats you that way.

Today I have the great privilege of sharing a conversation that I had with the incredible Professor Jioji Ravulo. 

Professor Ravulo is the Professor and Chair of Social Work and Policy Studies at the Sydney School of Education and Social Work at The University of Sydney. His research, writing and areas of interest include mental health and well-being, alcohol and other drugs, youth development, marginality and decoloniality. 

He has been involved and invited to author over 60 publications, including peer-reviewed journal articles, scholarly book chapters, research reports, and opinion pieces. 

Amongst his many passions is the creation and implementation of approaches that are engaging and engaged. He is involved in various community-based research and co-design initiatives, including projects that support health literacies across equity groups, enhancing service delivery models for young people and their families. 

I hope that you get as much out of our discussion as I did.
