Description

Social workers in Australia are increasingly called upon to work across social differences in ways that promote social justice and challenge growing inequity. Anti-oppressive practice has been placed at the heart of qualifying programmes.

In this exciting new collection, some of Australia’s leading social work academics explore working across so-called human differences within the context of contemporary social work.

By drawing on the insights and theories of people who have been positioned as ‘different’, the authors use practice vignettes and original data to provide ways to join theory and practice, with a primary focus on thinking about how to change patterns of social difference.

Whether a social work student or an experienced practitioner, Working Across Difference is essential reading for anyone who values anti-oppressive practice and social justice.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?

Working Across Difference is an essential source for social workers aiming to embrace and celebrate human diversity rather than seeing it as a challenge. This collection examines social work's unintended role in perpetuating structural and colonial inequalities and explores strategies for resistance and inclusivity. It fosters dialogue about engaging in more inclusive and collaborative practices.
