NSCSW Lunch & Learn: The ethics of allyship

Nova Scotia College of Social Workers

Nova Scotia social workers are invited to join us for a virtual lunchtime session on Oct 27 to explore the ethical aspects of allyship.

Social work ethics

Members of the Nova Scotia College of Social Workers are required to complete annual professional development, which must include training related to social work ethics.

<p>Ethicist Moji Adurogbangba will join us from British Columbia to explore the ethical implications of allyship, and share some theoretical frameworks that can help social workers conceptualize the journey toward becoming better allies.</p><h2>S﻿peaker</h2><h3>MOJISOLA (MOJI) ADUROGBANGBA, BDS, MPH, MA (SHE/HER/HERS)</h3><p>Moji Adurogbangba was one of the speakers at the NSCSW's annual conference in May 2023. She is currently the system-level ethicist at Fraser Health Authority in British Columbia. In her current role, she promotes and advances ethical decision-making in the organization while applying a 'diversity' lens to developing and reviewing policies, guidelines, and strategies. She also serves as the diversity officer on the Board of Directors of the Canadian Bioethics Society. </p><p>Moji was educated and worked as a dentist before obtaining a Master of Public Health in Nigeria and a Master of Arts in Bioethics from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, USA. She then earned a fellowship in clinical ethics at the Joint Centre for Bioethics at the University of Toronto. She has worked as a clinical ethicist for over ten years in two Ontario locations before moving to British Columbia.</p><p>Moji’s passion for social justice, excellence in public health, clinical and organizational ethics spans all her work. Her areas of interest include exploring the ethics of prioritizing scarce health care resources and identifying, articulating, and addressing ethical implications of organizational decisions on patients, health care providers, and the community.</p><h2>Eligibility</h2><p>There are no prerequisites for this session.
