Terry Hokenstad, 2004
This chapter contains a brief biography and transcript of an interview with Terry Hokenstad, a leader in American social work education, who was awarded the Katherine Kendall Award of the International Association of Schools of Social Work in 2004, for his contribution to international social work education. His professional and academic focus has been on ageing and older people, and he has been widely involved in policy advocacy in this area, including at the United Nations. Another important activity was building international links between US universities and many other countries, particularly with the opening up of the former Soviet bloc. He looks forward to future developments in coordination among international social work organisations.
