Just Practice: A Social Justice Approach to Social Work provides a
foundation for critical and creative social work that integrates
theory, history, ethics, skills, and rights to respond to the
complex terrain of 21st century social work. Just Practice puts the
field of social work's expressed commitment to social justice at
center stage with a framework that builds upon five key concepts:
meaning, context, power, history, and possibility. How do we give
meaning to the experiences and conditions that shape our lives?
What are the contexts in which those experiences and conditions
occur? How do structures and relations of power shape people's
lives and the practice of social work? How might a historical
perspective help us to grasp the ways in which struggles over
meaning and power have played out and to better appreciate the
human consequences of those struggles? Taken together, these
concepts provide a guide for integrative social work that bridges
direct practice and community building. The text prepares readers
with the theoretical knowledge and practice skills to address the
complex challenges of contemporary social work from direct practice
with individuals and families, to group work, organizational and
community change, and policy analysis and advocacy. Each chapter
includes learning activities, reflection moments, practice
examples, and the stories and voices of practitioners and service
users to engage students as critical thinkers and practitioners.
The author encourages teachers and students alike to take risks,
move from safe, familiar, pedagogical spaces and practices,
challenge assumptions, and embrace uncertainty.
