Social work as a profession and academic discipline has long
centered women and issues of concern to women, such as reproductive
rights, labor rights, equal rights, violence and poverty. In fact,
the social work profession was started by and maintained in large
part by women and has been home to several generations of feminists
starting with recognized first wave feminists. This wide-ranging
volume both maps the contemporary landscape of feminist social work
research, and offers a deep engagement with critical and third wave
feminisms in social work research. Showcasing the breadth and depth
of exemplary social work feminist research, the editors argue that
social work's unique focus on praxis, daily proximities to
privilege and oppression, concern with social change and engagement
with participatory forms of inquiry place social workers in a
unique position to both learn from and contribute to broader social
science and humanities discourse associated with feminist research.
The authors attend here to their specific claims of feminisms,
articulate deep engagement with theory, address the problematic use
of binaries, and engage with issues associated with methods that
are consistently of interest to feminist researchers, such as power
and authority, ethics, reflexivity, praxis and difference.
Comprehensive and containing an international selection of
contributions, Feminisms in Social Work Research is an important
reference for all social work researchers with an interest in
critical perspectives.
