Abstract
This oral history interview explores the influences and processes of development regarding Edward Canda's scholarly work on spiritual diversity in social work from childhood and throughout his career. The interview was conducted by Roman Salwa. This includes influences from his childhood in a Bohemian American Catholic family and from his university studies in anthropology, East Asian philosophy, religious studies, and social work. It summarizes about 45 years of scholarly activity promoting inclusion of spiritual diversity in social work education, research, and practice, highlighting collaborations with other scholars of social work and allied professions, in the USA and internationally. The interview concludes with a call for expansion of efforts for peace, reconciliation, environmental justice, and well-being for all on this planet and beyond. Notes and open access resources are offered to elaborate these points.
