Decolonising and Reframing Critical Social Work: Research and Stories from Practice

Autor Sophie Goldingay, Joleen Ryan, Angela Daddow
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2024
This book problematises and then reshapes critical social work to bring a range of perspectives to what constitutes truly effective and ethical social work practice, moving beyond binary oppositions (where two states or concepts are defined as opposite to each other) to create new words and concepts to be inclusive of a range of identities, practice contexts, and groups or communities of service users.
Currently, critical social work, derived from sociological critical theories proliferated in the 1960s, enjoys dominance as the theory that encompasses the ethical principles of social work in Australia. While on the surface critical social work appears to align with the Australian Association of Social Workers’ (AASW) ethical principles of social justice, professional integrity, and respect for persons, practitioners, and students alike find enacting it can be problematic in complex practice situations.
Reporting original research of cases from the field, the book focuses on the impact of intersectionality and shows new ways to address the nuance of othering and modern-day colonialism.
It will be of interest to researchers, practitioners, and students who are keen to engage with the latest in the field of critical social work and consider implications of this for the development of their own identity.

Recenzii

For social work students, practitioners and scholars, this book presents fresh insights and alternative discourses of practice. Drawing on Indigenous knowledge and perspectives, the authors trace how the colonial foundations of social work have a living legacy, decentring dominant binary categorisations of professional knowledge in the process. They use multiple standpoints and frameworks to story and re-story ways of saying (knowing) and doing social work and being a social worker. Combining an ethos of reciprocity, cultural responsiveness, spirituality, creative scholarship and contemporary practice examples, this original work is expansive in its scope, intent and potential to positively transform the field.

Early in my academic writing I issued an invitation for Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples to walk together as equals and reject the process of colonisation and challenge the social norms that enable it to continue.  Credit to the authors who have made a decisive move to engage with decolonisation in this book.
Each author demonstrated cultural respect by introducing themselves, their identity, heritage, and background to writing this book. The authors encourage readers to do the work to learn from existing scholarship and knowledge holders, noting the need to familiarise themselves with the work of First Nation’s Scholars, such as Wanganeen’s (2010) work on loss, grief, and trauma.
Significantly the authors make it clear that there is a duty of care for all social workers to tread carefully and respectfully in their practice so they can move beyond socially embedded thinking to consider multiple perspectives before expecting collaboration with First Nations or unfamiliar communities and organisations.
