In this episode of The Socially Engaged Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Eva Moya, Chair and Professor of Social Work at the University of Texas at El Paso, to explore her remarkable career spanning more than four decades in border health, community engaged research, and social work education. A native of the U.S.–Mexico border, Dr. Moya shares how her lived experience shaped her commitment to health equity, transnational social work, and participatory research. She discusses how research informs community programs and policy, the importance of partnering with communities, and offers powerful guidance for social workers across micro, mezzo, and macro practice settings.
