Description
Social work practitioners must be prepared to respond to emerging social problems in a rapidly changing world. Engaging with Social Work provides an introduction to critical social work, helping students to cultivate their own understanding of the structures and discourses of oppression and disadvantage, while exploring the role of the social worker. The third edition contains updated content on emerging social issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the climate crisis, broken systems - such as aged care and child protection, increasing wealth inequality, threats to democracy and the decolonisation of social work. Chapters include margin definitions of key terms, reflective exercises and case studies. Perspectives on Practice are integrated throughout the text. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander perspectives are also included throughout, providing an understanding of their experiences. Written by experienced practitioners, Engaging with Social Work is an approachable resource for students, providing them with foundational knowledge in critical concepts and theories.
