THE LIVING PROOF PODCAST SERIES
Two years ago, the University at Buffalo School of Social Work endeavored into what was then uncharted territory in the realm
of social work education: podcasting. Since then, the Living Proof Podcast series has grown by leaps and bounds through the
support of Dean Smyth and the dedication of the podcast production team; the series has produced over 50 episodes, has had
over 64,000 successful downloads, and has been accessed across all 50 states and in over 100 countries worldwide.
The Living Proof Podcast series is the first podcast series produced by a school of social work, and it has paved the way as a
pioneer in the application of Web 2.0 technologies in the field of social work. The podcast series utilizes popular sites such
as iTunes, Facebook, and Twitter to reach out to new audiences and share information regarding current social work practice
and research. Additionally, the podcasts provide an excellent resource for educators looking for new ways to teach today’s
tech-savvy students.
In the past year, Living Proof has also been featured in two articles of the online journal, Campus Technology, and also
SocialWorkersSpeak.org.

Dr. Claude Welch: Spotlight on Human Rights: Economic Rights in the
United States
In this episode, Dr. Claude Welch, Jr. explains his contention that human rights
can be violated as a result of economic structures. Currently, the issues involved
in our response to the economic crisis and U.S. health care reform speak to
our society’s commitment to protect the human rights of its citizens. Dr. Welch
describes the economic conditions that underlie problems such as poverty,
housing, and working conditions that create inequality in a wealthy, capitalist
society such as the United States.
Dr. Mo Yee Lee: Integrative Body-Mind-Spirit Social Work - Core Concepts
(part 1 of 3)
This is the first of three episodes in which Dr. Mo Yee Lee discusses her
research and clinical work bridging social work practice and an integration
of Eastern philosophy/practice with traditional Western approaches to client
change. In this episode, Professor Lee introduces the core concepts of the
body-mind-spirit approach and its defining characteristics as applied to
practice.
Dr. Caitlin Ryan: Reducing Risk and Promoting Well-Being for LGBT Youth:
The Critical Role of Family Support
Dr. Caitlin Ryan discusses her work on the Family Acceptance Project, the
first major study of LGBT youth and their families. Findings from the project
will be used to develop training and assessment materials for human
service providers working with LGBT youth and families and to develop a
new model for family-related care to improve health and mental health
outcomes for all LGBT adolescents.
