This volume offers an initial articulation of radical, ethical social work as a socially transformative response to societal divisions and polarisation.
The contributors conceptualise this interstitial space of the radical and ethical as acutely sensitive to power relations, systemic harms, and diverse epistemologies and ontologies while being relational, contextual, compassionate, and informed by oppositional consciousness and revolutionary hope. The 30 chapters are spread across three sections: Theorizing Radical, Ethical Social Work; Academic Contexts; and Practical Contexts. In disrupting assumed positions and orthodoxies and making visible tensions and contradictions in contemporary social work, this book suggests greater complexity, nuance, and possibility, whilst promoting novel, unique social work responses and dialogue.
Presenting a new politics of social work, this Handbook will motivate social work scholars, educators, practitioners, students, and policy makers towards complex, critical, relevant, transformative, socially just, decolonised, ethical social work engagement.
