Brenda Morris is an Associate Professor (Teaching Stream) in the School of Social Work at 杏吧原创 University. She integrates simulation-based learning in multiple courses, including in-class simulation and the Objective Structured Clinical Examination for Social Work (OSCE-SW). Brenda is part of a faculty team supporting the integration of simulation pedagogy across 杏吧原创’s clinical and direct practice social work curriculum.
Brenda values simulation as a powerful teaching approach that helps students build professional confidence, receive meaningful feedback from trained actors and practicing social workers, and identify goals for their ongoing professional practice development.
A committed advocate for field education, Brenda’s research focuses on mental health social work and innovative, inclusive social work pedagogy during periods of disaster or pandemic. A member of the International Network of Co-operative Inquirers, she currently teaches critical social work practice and mental health, and her current research explores the contributions of mental health peer workers in the community.
Brenda is continually curious about how theoretical learning translates into social work practice in field settings and early career. Through her teaching, scholarship, and mentorship, Brenda is committed to preparing social work students for reflective, responsive, and ethical practice.
