Professor Joe Duffy

School of Social Sciences, Education and Social Work

I am a Professor of Social Work at Queen’s University where my research concentrates on the involvement of service users/social work clients to help social work students understand difficult topics such as the impact of political conflict and trauma.

In addition, as a recipient of an All Disciplines US-UK Fulbright Scholar 2018-19, my research has concentrated on introducing service user involvement to the social work curriculum in the United States, working with New York University’s Silver School of Social Work and Belmont University’s Social Work Department, Nashville, Tennessee as pilot sites. In New York University, my research specifically focused on working with survivors of the 9/11 terrorist attacks of 2001.
