This chapter contains a brief biography and transcript of an interview with John Maxwell, a leader in Caribbean social work education who was awarded the Katherine Kendall Award of the International Association of Schools of Social Work in 2002, for his contribution to international social work education. For 35 years, he led social work education at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus, in Jamaica, following an early career in youthwork and community development. Seeking to improve the academic and professional standing of social work, he was involved in significant curriculum development, concerned to shift it from a clinical to a community focus and established practice education firmly with good agency supervision. Lack of indigenous literature led him to play a role in the creation of the Caribbean Journal of Social Work. International links expanded the horizons of social work in the Caribbean.
