This book will inspire the next generation of social work and human
service practitioners to integrate research into their everyday
social justice practice. Through highlighting the centrality of
values to the task of research and the possibilities for enacting
social justice through our research practice, it argues for
respectful, meaningful, and just relationships with the people with
whom we do research and build knowledge; acknowledges the ongoing
impact of colonialism; respects diversity; and commits to working
towards social change. With First Nations Worldviews – ways of
knowing, ways of being, ways of doing – weaved throughout the
text, this book seeks to both reclaim ancient knowledges and
disrupt Western research traditions. Divided into three sections,
this book provides a strong rationale for the importance of
research skills to social work and human service practice; a
step-by-step guide on doing social research aimed at novice
researchers; a series of examples of applied social justice
projects Bringing the authors’ passion for finding new ways of
‘doing’ research and contesting traditional research paradigms
of objectivity and the scientific, it advocates for knowledge
building that is participatory, emancipatory, and empowered. It
will be required reading for all social work and human service
students at both the undergraduate and master's level as well as
professionals looking to put research into practice.
